First swimming lessons

June 19, 2012 - first day of swim lessons! Splashing, kicking, splashing, going under water 3 times, splashing... Fun times for all!

Home Depot with Daddy

We had to stop by Home Depot today for a quick errand, which meant we spent way more time there than needed. But Eli and Kelly had some fun so what can you do?

Great Scot!

We had the chance to go to the Scottish Festival at Thanksgiving Point with Anne, Brandon, and Ethan. What fun! We watched dancers, laughed at the dressed up crazies (any excuse to wear your medieval garb), cheered the caber tossers and rock throwers, drank homemade rootbeer (Scottish?), and listened to lots of bagpipes! Eli really liked those. I'm grateful I get a chance to share my McFarland heritage with my family and friends. (oh, and I did yell "loch sloy" during the clan presentations.)

A bagpipe group was marching through the fair gathering everyone to the main field for the presentation of the clans. Wow! So loud!

Happy Father's Day

What an amazing Daddy little Eli has! I am so grateful for the man Kelly is and the man he is helping Eli grow up to be!

Kelly's family had a big party for Grandpa O and all the other dads. What a great time! Kelly and Eli even braved the pool full of wild kids for a little splash time.
