We had such a great weekend! It was nice enough to spend some time outside, the boys were pretty good and we hung out with some friends. Friday night was lazy night around the house.
Saturday, we took the boys on a bike ride around the school and the lake. We stopped at the lake for a little while and chatted with the ducks. Eli broke the bad news to them that we didn't bring bread with us. At his request, I ended up pulling Eli around in the trailer so I had to work extra hard! Once we got home and changed, we headed to the Fairgrounds Flea Market - well, us and two-thirds of the city! It was so nice outside. We walked around with the boys in the wagon checking out all the potential good deals. Didn't find what I was looking for on that day but left with some ideas. We tried to have nap time after lunch but neither boy was really interested in it. We did manage to have a little quiet time. After "nap", Eli's buddy Gray and his Mom came over to play and have dinner with us. The boys had fun running around outside and we had a great dinner together. It was a lot of fun for the adults to hang out and talk too. Eli & Cole were asleep in their beds less than half an hour after Gray left. Tired little boys.
Sunday, it was Cole's turn for a playdate. His buddy Boyd (who used to go to school with him) came over with his Mom to spend the morning with us and have lunch together. The boys had a fun time with each other; they were best buds at school. While Cole & Boyd played, Tim took Eli for a hike at Umstead and even managed to snap some great pictures for me with his phone. Eli looks so big and grown up in the pictures - my outdoors boy! After hiking, Tim and Eli ran back by the flea market to try to find a lamp I had spotted the day before. I was so happy when they came home with it. Thankfully we did get a break and the boys took simultaneous naps Sunday afternoon. We definitely needed a little rest. After naps, we spent more time outside and tried to soak up as much of the great weather as possible before it chills off again this week.
So there you have it - our wonderful weekend. The best part was that not only did we stay busy, we stayed happy busy and the boys were pretty good all weekend. Very much enjoyed it!
Eli hooked up to Mommy's bike and ready to ride
Cole - hooked up to Daddy's bike, snack in hand.
Tired boy after our flea market adventure.
Gray & Eli took turns pushing each other on the Unimog.
Going to be a great mountain biker.
Such sweet happy faces - pretending to drive the "bus"
Cole was not happy that he got stuck with the tricycle
He was much happier when he snagged the two wheeled bike with training wheels.
Dinner party Saturday night.
And a little post dinner entertainment provided by Mickey Mouse.
Cole cracked me up making trains and then pushing them off the end table.
Sunday morning - Cole + Boyd
Eli the hiker boy
He loved it!
Posing for Daddy on the rock wall. Doesn't he look so big with his trekking poles and CamelBak?!
Snack time break.
Ahhhhh, my beautiful lamp.
Running around after nap time - love the back yard.
The boys also explored the "way back" yard. Eli stopped Cole and then
led him to a secret spot in the bushes to hide from us. I see trouble on my hands in the future!
