There is a show on the Discovery Channel called "Gold Rush" that Pat and Oliver have really gotten into. (Okay, I might like it, too.) It is basically about a group of men with little to no experience as gold miners, who attempt to find gold in Alaska. Anyway, it has given Oliver the bug to find gold! So, on a rainy afternoon with a red plastic plate in hand, he and Eli panned for gold in the backyard. Much to his disappointment, no gold was found. However, he and Eli did end up having fun playing in the rain!
(Yes, I did try to get Eli to wear a pair of mittens, but since he refuses to put his thumbs in the correct thumb-hole, he was having a little difficulty wearing them and holding his umbrella at the same time. And, since holding an umbrella was CRITICAL, no mittens for Eli.)
Eli had a bit of an issue when he stood in the same place for a little too long and got completely stuck in the mud.
Thanks goodness for big brothers who rescue you!
