Take me out to the...

BALLGAME!!!

The ballpark has a play area for families. Ella and Fin rode the merry-go-round, played in the bouncy house, and played on the playground slides. They had a great time with Grandma E!

Cousins

While visiting Grandma and Grandpa S we got to spend some time with cousins, Hailey and Christabella.

Christabella and Fin were rocking out to the Dance, Dance arcade game.

Hailey loved the slides!

Christabella loved the merry-go-round and playing on the mats.

Fun with Grandma S

On one of our days in New Jersey with Grandma and Grandpa, we had an afternoon at the park with Grandma. Fin, in true boy fashion, covered himself head to toe in dirt, and had a great time doing it. He took a little bit of a break and sat on the bench for a few minutes.

Ella enjoyed Grandma's attention, and held Grandma's hand for much of the visit. She loves all of the hugs and kisses. The ducks and swans were a big hit, and I loved hearing Ella say the word, "SWAN" so clearly. Her vocabulary is increasing so much more.

Ella's sweetest phrase this trip has been, "Cuppa (her version of Grandpa) loves me, and I love Cuppa!" Her sincerity with that statement is enough to melt your heart. Not that she doesn't love her Grandmas too, just Cuppa is pretty special to that little girl!

Fin and Grandma S found a caterpillar. He giggled and had a great time scaring Grandma senseless as he tried to barrel down the cement stairs. We had a great time playing!


We miss our Seattle friends, but we head home this weekend, so we will see them soon. For those of you marking time with annual celebrations, my 29th birthday will be celebrated all next week. Hope to see you soon!
