Happy Day

Eli was so stinking' happy today I couldn't resist taking tons of pictures! We started our morning playing peek-a-boo. What a ham :)

Then after his nap we had some serious bed head issues

It was fabulous weather so we played with bubbles on the porch. He was fascinated by them! 

Love my little walker. (And the sweater I made for him out of Bryan's old T-shirt)

He was pointing at his name on the boat. 

Eli looked like a cat sprawling out on the carpet warm from the sun 

And what better way to end a day than on the beach. 

Sleepy Hike

Patty took a few pictures on the hike but I didn't get them off her camera.  Maybe I'll add them later.  

Bryan got back from fishing early so we all went on a little hike out to the end of the island.

This cute boy fell right to sleep

Shane's got the best seat!

Bubbles

On one of the many gorgeous summer days we've had in Craig, we brought out the bubbles for Eli to play with. It took him a little while to figure out what they were, but he enjoyed them!  He even blew a couple by himself!  Then he went to smell them (he's into smelling everything) and blew a bubble with his nose.  haha!

After dinner we were on the back deck playing with the bubbles again and Eli put the bubble wand in his mouth.  He spit a little and he blew his own bubbles!  We couldn't stop laughing because it was exactly from a cartoon!

Captain Eli

Bryan took Eli and I out on a little boat ride.  It was Eli's first time on the boat (and wearing a life jacket) and he did great!

He kept saying "ooh!!" with every bump and turn.

I think we have another fisherman in the works!

Berry Picking

Bryan had a day off!  (He worked 28 of 31 days in July).  Yikes!  Bryan's parents, Bryan, and Eli and I went huckleberry picking out some old logging roads.  It was very peaceful to walk along, pick berries (eat a few too) and just enjoy nature.  Eli did awesome in the backpack too! When I would be in a big bush picking, some branches would be near him and he would pick the berries too! He would eat a few, but most would fall by my feet.  Maybe next year he will figure out how to get them in the bucket :)

Can you see Bryan?  It is easy to get lost in these thick woods!
