Below we are clowning around after a picnic in the park on the Charles River. We ate sandwiches on blankets and Elliot pointed at all the dogs walking by yelling, "Kkktttttt!" A few of them stopped to be pet and to lick her face. Ick!
There is an awesome little sprinkler park and wading pool. We waded right in and had our first lesson in water safety. Shortly after snapping the picture, I stood up to talk to Ben and Elliot sat down...Which I noticed after she was sitting under water looking up at me with her arms up. It was only a second she was under water...but it was only a second I looked away. Hmmm. She did not care, but I was not cool.
Cool was again restored as Elliot models Auntie Kassi's fashion sunglasses. Be careful near the Elliot when you are wearing: glasses, sun glasses, headbands, barrettes, earings, necklaces, and shoes...she's got an eye for them!
Elliot continually practices her coordination skills by trying to carry multiple similar objects in one hand only. Below is an easy one for her. She is trying to get all of her stripey socks into her right palm. Not just her arms, but all in her palm. She works for quite a long time to get 2 forks in one hand, two puzzle pieces in one hand, two maracas in one hand. I hope the sock show she was doing below is not the beginning of trying to hold 3 things in 1 hand.
Elliot was quite the strawberry picker at the strawberry festival. Note to those going to pick berries: flip flops are not the preferred shoes of those in the fields. Sampling the goods in the field seems to be forgiven if you are a baby.
Auntie Kassi came for a visit and we went to a daytime tour of Fenway Park. They do it every day so its a good way to see the field and learn some stats when you can't make it to (i.e. don't want to pay through the nose for) a game.
Auntie Kassi and Elliot pose by the Ted Williams sculpture outside the park.
Below Elliot takes the Green Monster by storm. She is sitting on the wall in seats that are obtained through a lottery system and with a face value of about $135 per seat! Very hard ticket in town to score.
Below we are waiting to go up to the roof deck seats.
Ahhh, life is good on the roof by Pesky's Pole (yellow blur pole to the right of me).
Below Elliot clowns around with the field below. This time experiencing Roof Top seats where you have to also enter a lottery to have the right to spend $440 on a table for 4...but in these seats, you get table-side service and $100 back in food credit...which I guess would buy about 4 hot dogs and a beer. We are not likely to experience these seats again any time soon...Less about the price and more about the fact that we would never have our acts together to apply for the lottery!
