Probably more pictures than words in this post.
Friday, after Eli's doctor appointment, we packed up and headed to the farm for a quick visit. We went straight to my grandparents' house to meet some of the family for a cookout. We always have the best food when we get together!! We had grilled bbq chicken and bbq pork chops along with lots of good sides. It was nice to see our extended family, let them see Eli as a 2 year old and meet Baby Cole. After the cookout, we went to my parents' house to spend the night. We actually had a pretty good night. Tim slept with Eli in my brother's room (we kicked him out) and I slept in the loft with Cole. Eli slept all night and Cole got up at 2am like usual. I have to throw in here that the boys were angels the drive down. Cole slept the entire way and Eli just looked around, sang songs and was generally happy.
Saturday morning was just like all Saturday mornings at the farm. Eli wanted his shoes so he could go outside and explore. He ran around with Grandma before making cinnamon streusel muffins with her. Lots more play time outside, he finally fell asleep in the wagon when Grandma took him on a walk. Saturday afternoon we went to Evia's Grandma C's house and spent some time with her. Then it was to Cousin Stephanie's house to visit and introduce Cole. Back to the farm for dinner and we hit the road home about 8:30pm. It was a late night but the drive was quick. Again, the boys were angels - both asleep within 10 minutes of getting in the car, both slept the entire way home and we put them both in their beds without them waking up...amazing!!
It was a very quick trip but we were happy to see everyone. Grandma & Grandpa C were especially happy to have their grandsons visit.

Eli had fun playing with his Hot Wheels birthday present (thanks Aunt Val, Uncle Mike & Sheridan!). I think Grandpa & Uncle Mike enjoyed it more!
