Otter Creek State Park

We took a short trip to Otter Creek State Park. We went mid April, and it was VERY cold. Next time, if there will be a next time, we need to go later in the year.

Eli did very well the car ride.

He kept himself busy.

Very entertaining.

Watching movies helped 🙂

I used this trip to sew a blanket for Eli.

My first patch quilt. I embroidered monsters. I think it turned out nice.

As usual, we ate a lot! Real whipped cream for our breakfast of cheese blintz with blueberry sauce. Very tasty.

We took a short trip to the painted road. Not much, but a painted road out in the middle of no where.

At the end of the painted road, there was a little exhibit with dinosaurs.

Enjoying a good book before bed.

On the way home. He played hard. It was a fun weekend get away.

April recap

Lot’s of random photos I didn’t want to lose. Eli is growing so fast I want to have a record of all his cuteness!

He is a great eater. Even in his pajamas at lunch!

Mr. Charlie. We love you!

Eating well with a spoon.

We see the ducks almost daily as we walk the lake.

Eli loves a good sand box to play in.

Always smiling and laughing!

He wears my shoes all the time.

When I cook dinner, Eli is right there with me. Going through all the drawers in the kitchen.

Such a cute little boy.

Before Eli, I couldn’t stand to look at those cars. All I saw were germs and disease. Now I’m pushing one of them every time we go to the grocery store. I love it!

Always playing with trucks.

I love this little boy!

Ant

We walk to the park almost daily. On the way he always gets distracted by everything.

Today’s distraction were ants.

Almost got him.

The ants were faster than a 2 year old!

Got him!

Break in

I received a call this morning at 2 am from a private number. That always means the police. So I answer and sure enough, someone broke our front door to one of our stores.

How do you fix a door at 3 am? Stores are closed. And even if they were open, how do you fix a door? I can’t purchase a new glass door.

Good thing my father is innovative! A trip to his garage and 4 hours later, new door! For now.
