A Day Out With Elijah...

Do I have timing or what? As soon as August 1st hit my workload dropped from constant overload of work to having to look for things to do, from other people. Who knew such a thing was possible. Thankfully work loads changed and mine is steady. That means there will be more updates from me in the coming months. Mostly catching up on things that should have been posted while I was on my hiatus. So without further ado here is my first "catch up" post.

Some time in early December, Elijah and I had a day out together. It was just me and him "hanging out".

First we went to Wendy's to grab a bite to eat, but instead of going to the drive-thru, we went inside to eat. We had some interesting conversations about apples and birds and other various things. Elijah came out of his shell a little bit and ordered an apple juice instead of his usual water. He must have been feeling adventurous that day.

After we ate, we headed over to Barnes and Noble. They were having an Angry Birds scavenger hunt. Everyone had to look for the Might Eagle from clues that were given. We found them all and handed in our paper. There was a drawing for a prize, but unfortunately we didn't. (I didn't take any pictures inside B&N because I had gotten in trouble for doing that previously)

Our next stop was Starbucks for some coffee for me and a cake pop for Elijah. He thoroughly enjoyed his cake pop as we were driving home. He also insisted on wearing a Steelers knit cap while eating it...

*This was so long ago and I don't think we've had another day out, just me and him, since then. I will have to start thinking of another day out activity for this year. I just need some good ideas. Pinterest here I come...
