Weekend Fun

Last weekend we braved the cold and went out with some friends to see the Reindog Parade (everyone dresses up their dogs in Christmas garb and there's a parade)! We started the day at Krohn's Conservatory and saw the beautiful Christmas displays and the other gardens there. They also had a live nativity set up, so that was fun for Elijah to see.

Then we went to Mt. Adams Bar and Grill - so yummy! It was fun being there with some friends and their family. While we were there, there was a BIG Clifford roaming around the restaurant for the Reindog Parade and we went to get a picture of Eli with him and as soon as we got close to Clifford, Eli FREAKED!! He started screaming and crying and was clinging to Vince. He came to me and was clinging even tighter. He cried for probably 20 minutes afterwards! Didn't mean to traumatize the poor child! Looks like Disney World is out of the question for a few more years!!

Well, after lunch, Eli was getting kind of cranky, and it was really cold up on the hill where the parade was going to be held. We decided to just go up to the registration area where the dogs were all gathering and take a look at some of the dogs there. Close enough to the parade. That way we could get Eli home and get a nap. Here's some of the festive dogs!
