John and Elijah rocking out to a Rush DVD. This is John's attempt to teach Elijah about some of his favorite music, plus wear off some of Elijah's energy too. :-)
Today, we all set off for Las Vegas for Grandma Maria & Grandpa John's 15th Wedding Anniversary & Renewal of Vows. Courtney was a bit nervous because Elijah had never been in a car for so many hours and wasn't sure how he would act. We reassured her that everything would be fine.
Low and Behold, the car ride couldn't have gone any better in our opinions. Elijah loved looking out the window to find big trucks (which kept him busy most of the trip), we also sang ABC songs, itzy bitzy spider, and 3 little indians. Off key of course, but what the heck we were having fun. Elijah was so happy the whole car ride home.
Of course, we had to stop @ the giant Bass Pro Shop in Las Vegas so John could take Elijah to look around. They checked out all the tents, boats, fish, and even got him a cool little hat.
Elijah loves to look @ books and has learned a lot of new words within the last week or so. Here he is reading his new book I bought him when we were out shopping for the day.
