The Farnum's had a great 4th of July! On Friday morning we packed up the car and headed to Williamsburg. Upon arriving, Elliot was greeted by his cousin Katherine (my step-brother Doug's daughter), who is attending camp in Williamsburg next week. Elliot was a little shy around Katherine at first, but was following her around and playing with her by late afternoon. On Friday night, Mommy and Daddy went out to celebrate Daddy's new job in Rockville, MD. Apparently Elliot was having so much fun with his cousin, that he was VERY reluctant to go to bed.
On Saturday, we got up bright and early to decorate Mimsey's golf cart and Katherine's bike for the Governor's Land parade. Once the cart and bike were decorated it was time to get in formation for the parade. Elliot loved seeing and "telling us about" all of the classic cars, golf carts, bikes, horses and fire truck! After the parade we had a picnic lunch at the club, then headed home for naps.
Later that afternoon we hit the pool. There Elliot discovered something he likes even more than the pool, snow cones (pictures coming soon). After swimming and relaxing we headed home where we dined on burgers, corn on the cob, and watermelon - Yum! Before we knew it, it was time to head back to the club for the fire works show. Since we figured that Elliot would be pretty tired, we dressed him in his PJs and brought the stroller in case he fell asleep. Boy were we wrong. Elliot was so excited about the music and all of the kids running around that all he wanted to do was jump around and dance. I was little worried that he would be scared of the fireworks, but he proved us wrong once again! As you can tell from the pictures, Elliot really liked the fireworks show.
On Sunday morning we woke up to a dreary day. We spent it, running errands and doing chores. By the end of the day we were all tuckered out. I am pretty sure that Elliot dreamt about fireworks last night.
