Lightning Magic

What a wonderful evening Elliot and I had together.

First, we met Maya, Ella, and Sagi (their father) at Club Greenwood to go swimming. We played Crazy Bronco, berry bombs, zombies, and many other games in the pool. Elliot also went into the steam room and sauna with me, briefly. He did not like it very much, too hot.

But then the children took turns sitting in the lifeguard’s chair next to the pool. It was Elliot’s turn. I was holding onto the chair and somehow slipped. I pulled the entire chair and Elliot into the pool with me! Amazingly, no one was hurt. We laughed and laughed and talked about it over and over again.

Elliot loves hiding in the lockers. He’s still small enough to fit in these half-height lockers. We play the “Where’s Elliot?” game, and even though I know where he is, and he knows that, he still loves to play it.

There was an amazing sunset on the way out. The children rolled down a grassy hill about a thousand times. Everything is new for Elliot, just like the Jello we made the other day. I love experiencing it with him.

We went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner (“Can we go to the place with the playground inside”). Coming out: Elliot’s first lightning show. It was a good one. Really good. It was nearly dark. I pulled Elliot down under an awning. We sat and watched the lightning “magic show” for probably 20 minutes. When was the last time I did that? And that’s what we called it and referred to it for the next couple of days: the lightning magic show.

I love our life together!

Here are some pictures from the Arapahoe County Fair that Elliot loves so much, from the next day. This is our 2nd or 3rd year attending.
