Around here

We have been having a great last few days. Chris was on vacation the latter part of the week, and we have had so much fun having him all to ourselves around here.
When Daddy's off, we have lots of good food and ice cream. Yum, Brusters!
We went shopping and Ella got to pick out some new tennis shoes. Poor baby has been telling us her shoes hurt. No wonder, she has grown from an 8 to a 10 just since Christmas! Here's a pic of her new "pink and green and silver and all the pretty colors" shoes...

We went to Winton Woods yesterday. It was a ton of fun and we were excited to find another neat park pretty close to home.
We took a walk and Ella yelled at all the ducks...

We didn't realize there was a wet playground there and didn't bring Ella's swimsuit. Next time we'll know, but she didn't let that stop her from having a grand, old time in that water!

Today, the little girl across the street had a birthday pool party. Ella had such a great time!

Waiting in line for the slide...

Making new friends...
