Visit to Uncle Ely

A few weeks ago, I took Eamon to visit Uncle Ely at his new house in Huntsville.  We had a nice ride up there (Eamon occupied himself by trying to take apart his DVD player).  He was a little reluctant to get near Ely when we first got there, but I later realized he had never seen Ely with a hair cut and no facial hair.  He soon warmed up to him and we went to a nearby playground to play.  This lasted about 30 minutes because it was SOOOOO hot.

After our outing to the playground, Ely took us to an old section in Madison across from a railroad track where we ate in a Mexican restaurant.  There was a freight train parked on the track, so Eamon was in heaven.  (Trains and fire engines are on the top if his favorites list.) 

Eamon had been singing Happy Birthday to himself all morning.  During lunch, he looked at me and said, 'Hey, Marie, you got my present?'  What a funny boy.  (Most of you know his birthday is in January.)

Mexican restaurant actually takes up two store fronts. 

After lunch, Eamon fell asleep, so we dropped Uncle Ely off at home and we made the trip back to Birrmingham.  It was a wonderful day.
