Sorry for the small number of posts during the month of July. Our home internet has been down, and between Brian being gone during the week and the annoying Comcast repair schedules it took forever to get fixed. About the time that it went down I had planned to post about a little family outing we went on before Brian headed up to MD to start his new job. On Sunday the 18th, we spent an action packed afternoon together that consisted of a visit to Maymont, sushi for dinner, and ice cream in Cary Town.
We spent most of our time at Maymont exploring the "zoo" section where we saw eagles, owls, foxes, and the hit of the day - BEARS! Elliot was nuts about the bears. He wasn't as nuts about a life size bear statue. It took a little coaxing to get him over to it, but he warmed up to it. Before leaving Maymont we strolled around the Japanese garden, which is what i think inspired us to go out for sushi for dinner.
Elliot enjoyed his dinner which consisted primarily of edamame and rice. I ordered him some tempura sweet potatoes but he wouldn't even try them. Toddlers can be SO picky. Towards the end of our meal we had a bit of an accident. I left a sippy cup full of water, topless, and in reach of Elliot. Within minutes Elliot had grabbed the cup poured it all over himself. That is why he is shirtless in the ice cream photo.
What a fun day! We have continued to make the most of our weekends with Daddy, unfortunately Mommy has been really bad about taking photos. I promise that August will be a busy month on the blog.
