Let Freedom Ring



Elliot experienced his first fourth of July, one of my favorite holidays, in Williamsburg. Elliot, Brian and I tagged along with my parents to their friends' annual fourth of July celebration and bocce ball tournament. Their house was amazing, the food was great, the competition was intense, and a fun time was had by all. Unfortunately the bocce tournament was rained out, but by that time Elliot was sound asleep. Elliot was the hit of the party and managed to keep his red, white a blue outfit clean (for the most part) all evening. Elliot made a few new friends too, it is so fun to watch him interact with other kids and visa-versa. The rain kept us from seeing any fireworks, but by the time it was dark it was way past Elliot's bed time anyway.


We spent the rest of our time in Williamsburg relaxing at Mimsey and Granddad Cliff's house. On Saturday Mimsey baby sat Elliot during the day so that Brian and I could go see a movie and go out to lunch -what a treat! While we were away Elliot was very busy. He had lots of fun playing with one of Mimsey's old toys and with a bag of Grandad Cliff's clean clothes. What a nice way to spend our long weekend!
