While trying to find something fun to do, we went ahead and put together one of Elem's birthday presents, a riding motorcycle. LIttle late, but we didnt realize how long it was going to take to put together and we were so crunched for time on his birthday, we decided it was a good day to get a present! And boy did he love it! Elem is super obsessed with motorcycles these days and he is a riding freak. He would ride that thing all day if we would let him. So once the motorcycle was ready, Elem and I went to Cecilia's house to make some Memorial Day cookies. I walked and Elem rode, and he rode the whole way around the block and up the street, all by himself. We made some fabulous Memorial Day cookies and Elem and Cecilia decorated them wonderfully. ALthough the decorating was only fun for about 10 minutes, then the fun was over. We headed back to the house for a nap and were on a mission to find something fun to do when Elem woke up.
Thinking about how obsessed Elem is with motorcycles and bikes, Seth had a great idea and found out that just a couple miles away, there was a Memorial Day bike parade and festival. So we headed that way as soon as Elem was up. After all that fuss about riding his motorcycle, Elem took the smart route and chose to take his "wooter" as he likes to call it, his 4-wheeler. It is battery operated, so he made a smart decision. :) He rode up to the bike festival in style and got lots of compliments on his 4 wheeler. This was a great x-mas present from Santa, it gets used every single day, several times a day.
We met Ali, Dustin, and Sissy there, and Seth brought beads for everyone.
Of course my little man was too cool to wear the beads. He is just all boy. The second he rode up, he was ready to play him some games. So we grabbed a spiderman frisby and he was sold. Look at that form. He is a frisby master. I love this picture, it really captures how Elem looks most of the time. Always moving number one, but then always with some silly little grin number 2.
Grammy and Poppa even got out for a little bit and met us at the festival. In an attempt to get a good picture, Elem decided I was taking too long and was off. At least they are all in the frame. Better than nothing.
After some time in the jump house with sissy:
Some more frisby with Ali:
And some horseshoes with Daddy:
The day was coming to an end. We didnt really stay too long, but just long enough to have a fun Memorial Day. I am so thankful for my family and how we can have fun pretty much everywhere and anywhere we go. Although Florida would have been nice, the new subdivision in Bryant, and their little neighborhood Memorial Day festival was just fine. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and spent some time with your families.
