Fun with Daddy

Scott had to work out of town this week so Ella and I decided to go with him. We found lots of fun things to do. We went swimming and shopping and then we found a cute park downtown that had rides we could enjoy. We rode the train, carousel, cars and boats. She was not too thrilled with the boat as you can see from the picture. We went to dinner and dessert every night once Scott got off. It was really a vacation for me! No cleaning or cooking and I took a nap almost every day!! Nap? What is that? I haven't had one of those in...2 years! We really did have fun and enjoyed our time with Daddy.

Emma Cate turns 4!

Emma Cate had her 4th Birthday party yesterday and we had so much fun! We bounced and slide down the slide and danced. The theme was popsicle, since Emma loves them so much and we had our own individual cakes in the shape of popsicles. Too cute! Then we had real popsicles to go along with our cake. Happy Birthday to you, Emma Cate!

4th of July

We had a nice July 4th holiday weekend. We had a Lowcountry Boil and Oyster roast with my family on Friday. We got to play with Aidan's new puppy, a Chocolate Lab. Her name is Shayla (which he named himself), but he calls her Shay. She is so sweet and very calm and Ella just loved her. She loved playing catch with her. Scott was on call so Ella and I headed to the lake for the day on Saturday at his parent's place. Then we came to have dinner with Scott and we had hash...our favorite!

Waterpark

Yesterday we went to the new waterpark with our friends Hayden and Caroline. There was a lot for the little ones to play on. Ella and Hayden were so sweet with each other. They kept hugging each other and holding hands. We had a great time!

Storytime at the library

Today we went to storytime at the library. We read Zoo Parade, sang songs, danced and even had a parade with streamers. It was a lot of fun! We are going to make it our Wednesday morning ritual.
