kite flying!

Eli got a kite for Easter. Last weekend Will decided to take him into the field behind our house and fly it. They were having a lot of fun. Eli loved holding the kite and looking up into the sky pointing at it. He kept looking up and making a noise that I know means Elmo...

But then the inevitable happened. Eli let go of the kite and it flew away. But luckily it got caught in a tree in our yard. Will, being the amazing dad that he is, decided to retrieve it for him...

(This might just be where Eli get's his climbing abilities...)

Then after all that work the kite came off the handle anyways and he ended up chasing it back through half of the field. Ahh the things we do for our kids!

Easter

We had a really fun Easter weekend. We went to the Easter egg hunt and then to grandma's house to dye eggs. That was Eli's favorite part!

He loved dunking them in yellow and green, hence the HULK hands...

He was really proud of his creation...



Then, we took these pics Sunday before church

A fun day at the park

We went to the park a couple weeks ago with my mom and Eli's cousins. He really loved it, too bad we haven't been able to go back, it's not too fun in the snow!!

Last year the swing was the best. This time he still liked the swing, but the slide was WAY more fun, probably because he got to climb all the way up to the slide before he went down. The animal thing was only fun for about two seconds.
