Fall Day at the Park

On Saturday we finally got to hang out with Marissa (it had been weeks!) and went to a kid's day at a local park. Lots of fun and a GORGEOUS fall day. Have I mentioned I LOVE fall?? I REALLLY do.

We were at the top of a big hill and I told Ella she should run down to this amphitheater and get on the stage and dance for us. And to my shock she took of running and did it! That little spot with pink pants and black shirt is her!

The park had a beach on the bay and we played there for a long time. Here Marissa is helping Ella right her name with a stick. She got really into writing on the sand but insisted she only wanted to make "loooong lines" not letters. She had a blast.

Ella's gotten quite adventurous lately and likes climbing and jumping off of things a lot more than she used to. (and a lot more than I do...I get scared!)

Great Day with the fam!

The park

Fun day at the park with Hol and Hope :-) They introduced us to a new park with a 4 tiers of playgrounds to play on plus a farm! We'll definitely be going back.

While Holly and I chatted with her neighbor Ella got a book from the car and settled in next to a tree to wait out the boring adult conversation. I LOVE that she LOVES books!

Hope is getting to be a playground pro!

During our picnic, they may have gotten a little too excited. Ella was squeezing Hope to give her a slightly too loving hug and Hope was pointing and saying "eye! eye!" while poking Ella....oh these girls
