One of our dearest friends, Eric, came to visit yesterday! Dan has been telling Finley about meeting Eric at sleep away camp when he was a kid and how he can't wait for Finley to go to sleep away came and make the coolest friends :) Eric just completed his first Ironman Triathlon up in Canada (AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT!!) and was passing through Boston on his way back home to Austin.
The kids put him to work immediately reading an array of Elephant and Piggie books.
Later, he cordially played Busytown Airport with Dagny.
When Dan got home, we piled into the car and headed off to Kimball Farms. Finley's been eying the bumper boats the last couple of times that we have been to Kimballs but wasn't ever interested in trying before tonight. Dan, Eric, and Finley got tickets and found boats while Dagny and I went to the bridge to watch.
Finley had the biggest smile on his face and so did the older boys!
Lots of bumping and some minor splashing!
Everyone had a good time and dinner was up next! After we ordered, I desperately tried to get the kids to take a decent photo together...
Fail #1: Good smiles, neither looking at camera
Fail #4 (2 and 3 also fails): Decent smiles, only one looking at camera
Fail #5: New pose, but no eye contact
I gave up and said they could just be silly.
So silly they got.
I'm just so proud :)
Dinner was delicious and time consuming, but we managed to fit in some mint chocolate chip ice cream before heading home.
We love you, Uncle Eric, and hope to see you again really soon!
