Whidget bought me a ticket to come visit them in Hershey in June 2009. I just stayed a week, but we squeezed a lot of fun and adventures. We went to a park and let Eli slide and swing and play. Unfortunately we didn't bring a ball and another park visitor did - Eli was very interested in playing with their ball and they weren't interested in sharing. Other than that little glitch, the park visit was lots of fun and we all enjoyed it. Emma went too and that made it even more fun!

When we got back from the park Emma, Eli, and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. We spied a bunny and took a picture of it. Then we took a picture of Eli looking at it. The bunny didn't want to play as it turns out and hopped away shortly after the picture. The picture of Eli with both arms up is when he was showing me how big he is.

Then we had an early birthday party for Eli since I wasn't going to be able to be there in July. He is pretty good at opening his presents these days. He was quite interested in what was in the box. Turns out though, after he tried the chair, he found the box to be much more fascinating.

Dora also had her first introduction to rice cereal. She is so smiley whenever anyone talks to her, especially her mom, that she could hardly eat for smiling at all the attention.
