Wow, what a weekend!

Ryan, Eli, and I spent Friday and Saturday on a bus trip to Seaside, OR with the Eastlake High School cross-country team. Boy, was it an adventure! Eli got sick on the way down (on the bus!) and, of course, I hadn't brought a spare change of clothes. So, we had to strip him down and put him in one of the team t-shirts. He kind of looked like Yoda, this little 3 foot tall guy in a floor-length shirt toddling around! :) Fortunately, he recovered quickly from his sick stomach and was well (but very tired) the next day for the big meet. He had a remarkably good time working the buckles on both his car seat and his stroller. The highlight of the trip was the time we got to spend in Seaside on the way back. It was nice to have a little time just for the three of us, especially in such a pretty place! The two highlights for Eli were all the dogs he got to see and pet at the meet...and the finale of the trip; Eli's first ice cream! Ryan and I got ice cream cones after lunch, and had to share with Eli. I think he shares his Mommy's love of ice cream!
