Today we went to Uncle Rodney's for my gram and gramp's 60th Wedding Anniversary. We had lobsters and clams and for those who don't eat the fine delicacies they had typical BBQ foods. Hot Dogs, burgers and chicken. It is amazing to me how many people don't eat lobster and clams! There was 40 lobsters and countless clams, certainly more than enough. The lobster were hard shelled (very hard, my dad broke a cracker attempting to get into one)Everything was moved inside the garage due to weather and there were a couple tents on the deck to cook. The rain stopped for about an hour while everyone ate and then the sky opened up again. Considering how bad the weather was it went off very well.
Before we went we decided to bring extra clothes and dress the boys in rain coats and mud boots. There no sense in trying to stop them from going outside to play, just change them as needed. There were plenty of fun things to do outside, rockets and balloons. Oh yeah and a very cool mini-truck to drive.
We always knew Boy 1 is just a pip-squeak, but this proves it. Max and Jackson (Blue jacket on the right, my cousin Maries son) are only 4 months apart in age. Now Jackson is pretty tall for 4 years old, but not that tall. Max better learn to run fast if he gets lippy in school.
This rocket thing was pretty cool, I can see one being bought very soon for our house. You jump on the yellow pump and it shoots a nerf rocket into the air. Max could only send it about 10 feet into the air but Elliot had the technique down and could send it a good 30 feet up.
The boys out for a joy ride, tuning the radio....not watching the road. The thing has a real AM/FM radio
