It's the Elliot Way: Beach Time
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2015/08/beach-time.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. I don't often bring my camera to the beach - the whole sand creeping into the innards of my camera thing worries me - but I did bring it down with me on the day Georgia and Gordy ran their 5k and while we were waiting for them to run by, I took some fun beach shots of Josie and Henry. It was a gorgeous day. The tide was up and there wasn't a whole lot of available beach for us to occupy, so Henry dug out a trench to hold back the waves from soaking our beach towels. Et Tu, Bessie?

It's the Elliot Way: July 2015
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. This is Georgia. I'm going to tell you about my first over-night camp experience. The first night was really hard. We were in tents, sleeping on the hard ground and none of us could fall asleep. Even worse, they had made tent groups and had purposely split up my friend and me. There were twelve kids in our group. Most of the boys were a year younger than me but the girls were around my age. We had three counselors: a boy and two girls and they were nice. I don't think I'd do THIS...

It's the Elliot Way: December 2014
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. My Christmas post is going to be a long one, so I've divided it up into two parts. We had Christmas at our house which was probably a good thing considering the arrival of the puppy. As is our usual, we got dressed up for Christmas Eve. I wore one of Janice's gorgeous velvet, Batik skirts. I asked Gordy to take a photo of me to show Janice, but this blurry shot is the best that he took. And I felt very warm and glamorous all evening. Owen said a merry "Happy Birthday! After ea...

It's the Elliot Way: November 2014
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Georgia turned 12 last week, almost right after her surgery. (I'll get back to Thanksgiving soon, but I do like my blog to be in order! The day started early as all Elliot birthdays do. Georgia's special day was also a school day for two of the three Elliots (Henry had the week off), so we all had to get up extra early to have time to open presents. Georgia was not disappointed. She got a pair of light-blue high-tops from her Granny and Grandfather:. Happy Birthday, Georgia!

It's the Elliot Way: August 2015
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. The weekend was supposed to be lousy - the forecast for the island was rain, rain, and more rain. Plus wind, thunder and a lightening storm or two. I figured it would be a long weekend of entertaining bored children, but Block Island threw us a bone and the weather was glorious the entire three days. The boys did their own thing, but the girls and I took advantage of the sun and went to the beach each day. We also visited the Labyrinth - our first visit there this season. Elizabe...

It's the Elliot Way: March 2015
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. The girls and I had a really, really mellow weekend. And we needed it. Gordy and Henry spent the weekend in New Hampshire where Henry and his hockey team were playing (and winning! The Northeast Region Championship. That victory will be the subject of my next post (I forgot to get the photos from Gordy), I promise. Henry and Gordy left Friday afternoon for the tournament, so we had a three-day girls weekend. And throughout the entire day) and no one really enjoyed themselves.

It's the Elliot Way: Georgia Runs a 5K
http://itstheelliotway.blogspot.com/2015/08/georgia-runs-5k.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Georgia Runs a 5K. And she swears she will never do it again. It was the same 5K beach run that Josie did with Gordy last year. The race starts at Town Beach (Crescent Beach) and runs all the way up to Mansion Beach and back. Henry, Josie and I waited at Mansion Beach, so all these photos were taken at the half-way mark. As of 9:15 this morning, Georgia was back to wanting to run the race. She regretted the decision about five minutes into the run. Labels: Block Island 5K. JP Knit...

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Snorkeling Off Block Island. While Josie and Gordy were getting ready to begin their 5K, Henry and Georgia were 2.5K away, preparing to go snorkeling in the ocean. It was a cold, over-cast day and not the kind of weather that makes you want to sunbathe or build sand castles. It also wasn't the kind of weather that made you want to get into the ocean at all, but we had time to kill while waiting for Gordy and Josie to run by, and my children aren't good at just sitting around.
