We went to Oktoberfest at our local Catholic church yesterday. This picture sums up the day’s activities. Lots of eating! Elliot had a hot dog and Travis had a pretzel. There were lots of games to play, Elliot made a wood project with his dad, and we went home with someone else’s balloon animal. Also Travis managed to take a nap in the stroller while the Bavarian band blasted polka music. It was a great day!
On Saturday we went to the Chicago Botanic Garden. There was a terrific train exhibit that we went to see. Afterward we walked around the garden. Elliot wanted to push Travis in his stroller. We saw a big ball of pumpkins. And then I saw a cutie pie sitting on his dad’s lap and had to snap a pic.
Travis is serious about bottle time.
This boy is almost as tall as the flag and pinwheel we have on our patio!
For someone who cries when I try to feed him vegetables, this one grabs foliage with gusto and shoves it in his mouth. I guess it’s fiber.
Elliot and I read Sheep In A Jeep and then made a craft. We made a sheep, a jeep, some mud, and a tree. Then Elliot acted out the book with the paper props. I think Elliot’s favorite part was using his scissors.
