They had done it one time before (about a year ago), but this was basically like starting over. They had fun and can't wait to go back!! Here is about a 5 minute montage of the fun from the day!

Eli's TALL TALES! The "Weird Man" Story
Eli loves to write. He comes up with really unusual creative stories, but he also loves to tell those stories! Here is Eli reading one of his "tall tales".

Time for a new look and a New NAME!
ok, Curly and Shorty were never real names.
No one ever called Eli, Curly and it did not fit (except he had curly hair)
and even though she liked it, Shorty never stuck either.
I started calling Naomi "chicky chicky boom boom" when she was really
little after reading a book with that in it... then when she starting really
doing so well in softball I shortened it to just "boom boom" and now
it just seems natural. She IS a Boom Boom. No Doubt.
So now it comes back around to Eli. He does not have a nickname really.
Eli just seems to work. But lately, especially after watching Elf about 12
times this holiday season, he began saying that he wanted to be an Elf too
when he grew up. (yes, he was serious). Then we realized that he IS just
like Buddy the Elf. He talks nonstop. Has a wonderful childlike wonder
to almost anything he does. Loves meeting people and making friends.
He has curly hair. Is almost always happy. And is also adopted.
Buddy. Now that fits. There it is.
Now, from this point on, it is going to be the same concept, but new look
and name.... The Adventures of Buddy and Boom-Boom.
