Go Navy!

This weekend was Dada's 10th anniversary from the Naval Academy! So on Saturday, we spent the day at Annapolis and at a tailgate with lots of Dada's classmates.

Hanging out with the other Navy kiddos.

They had facepainting! I got a butterfly on my cheek.

Riley and Baby Morgan were there too!

Go Navy!

Riley liked my butterfly.

It's a Bird...

It's a plane!

Ella loves airplanes, so on Labor Day we had a picnic at the park right next to the airport. Ella loved watching the planes go right above our heads and land behind us. Zoom!


Airplane!

Daddy pointing out the next airplane on the horizon.



More more airplanes!

Labor Day = Play Day!

What a fun weekend! Daddy was home from a long trip to China, the weather was beautiful, and it was a three day weekend!

I kicked off the weekend by trying on the qipao Dada brought back from China.

We had dinner at Nana and Baba's neighbor's house.

They have three kids. This is me with Kelly and baby Caroline. Caroline is the most smiley baby ever!

We went to Burke Lake to ride the neighs and the choo-choo.

On the choo-choo!

Ice cream at the park!

Then we went to feed the ducks.



Tickle-monster!

The next day, we went to the zoo!

I saw a panda!

Can't take my eyes off the panda.

Checking out the elephants. Thanks for the cute outfit Uncle Bob and Aunt Bonnie!


Monkey!

Trying to get a better view :)
We went to see the airplanes too! More pics to come!

Baseball!

Mama and Dada had a rehearsal dinner and wedding to go to this weekend, so I got to spend Friday night with Nana and Baba, and Sunday night with Mimi and Poppa! Nana and Baba discovered that I love baseball. Here is a quick clip -- including my funny expression everytime they throw the ball :)

More video and pics from the weekend are on the way!

Seeing Spots

All dressed up for a day of shopping!

Best Buds

Sometimes Emma gets scared (thunderstorms, etc.) and hides behind the toilet. On Saturday morning, Emma was acting scared and went to her normal hiding place. Ella was bugging her, and I asked her to leave poor Emma alone because she was sick. Ella came into the kitchen with me, then asked for Emma, then disappeared. This is where I found her :)

Flyin' High

Ella had a great time at her friend Cori's third birthday party! It was at My Gym, which Ella loves. Her best bud Zoe was there too. And it ended with a high flying surprise :)

Thanks Mimi for taking pictures!

Parachute time!

Watching Zoe come down the slide.


Made it to the top!

Ball pit!

Ella's favorite - bubbles! She had an awesome dance to go with it.




Zoe was not too excited about holding hands...

Zoe and Ella go "night-night"

Just barely can see over the counter!

Here's the surprise! A zipline. Zoe first...

Now Ella's turn!

Go Ella! She was so proud of herself when she finished :)

Ella brought back a ribbon from the pinata. Apparently the snacks were not very interesting...
