The Bolins: Summer Time Fun

Life has been so busy that I have failed to keep up my blog. So I will call this one Summer Time Fun which includes miscellaneous photos of our life over the past few months.

Daddy, D and Eli on a typical Saturday morning where we all watch cartoons together from our bed

Eli lost his first tooth--by accident. He fell at Daycare and knocked his two front teeth loose. He fell a second time a few weeks later and finished off one of the front teeth. The pediatric dentist had to pull it, but Eli was a brave little boy. He has become a regualar at his dentist's office lately and loves to visit "Dr. Chad" Eslinger.

The boys in their room

This is the custom painting that was recently done in the boys' bathroom.

Love the frogs, dragonflies, caterpillar and beatle on the bathroom wall.

This is what we sing to the boys when they are getting their baths....

This is where I found Eli this morning--in my bed watching cartoons. He climbed up there while I was getting ready.

On Monday, Septemer 12 we took Eli and my niece Harper (both 3 years old) on a day trip to Dollywood. It was a beautiful summer day and the weather was not too hot. The crowd was down since it was on a Monday and most kids in the area were back in school and summer vacations were over. These are the photos we took that day:

Eli and Harper riding the tram into Dollywood

Cindy, Eli and Harper waiting for the first ride of the day on the Steam Locomotive, i.e. "choo choo!" "All Aboard" is what Eli announced to everyone before the train started moving.

Harper, Ken and Eli enjoying the train ride.

Eli fell asleep on Ken during the train ride. And the day was only just beginning....

Harper had to enjoy the first kiddy ride by herself while Eli was still catching some "Zzzzzzzzzzzz's"

Harper and Eli riding the ducks after the short lived nap.

Harper and Eli riding the ducks again.....

Eli and Harper riding the Bees.

Harper and Eli were really getting a thrill on the Pig ride--I think it was the lady in charge of the rides that made it so fun. Miss Gloria was singing to them "Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O." She was also calling the kids by their names.
