1st part of cousin Horwath's trip West!

This last week has been so much fun for Ella! Joe, Steph, Mia, and Zach came over from Philadelphia for a visit! And of course, Nana and Papa made the trip over from Spokane in their camper. Ella has pretty much been in heaven since everyone arrived. So far, we have been to two children's musuem, rode the duck, visited the lake, and had many many wrestling matches (more photos to come)!

Olympia children's museum was the one of our first stops!
Getting ready to do some gardening!
Mia was great at handling the cash machine!
Ella and Nana shopping at the farmer's market.
Oh and she doubles as a florist!
Ella's favorite part of the Museum was driving the vehicles! Here she is with Aunt Steph.
Kinda looks like Uncle Joe is more into this puppet show then Ella and Mia!
cSuch a cutie! Here is Zach helping Mia free the pets at the pet store!
Mia, imprinting her face into the pin wall!

This turned out to be a favorite attraction!

Ella's first ride on the monorail!Zach looking cool with his moehawk!
All about the books!
Duck Tour!
We all boarded the duck and took a very educational tour of the city!
Ella tended to hop laps alot! Here is her laughing with Nana and Papa.
Oh and back to Uncle Joe and Zach!
Getting ready to blow her duck horn!

Day of Fun in Seattle

Seattle
We decided to start out our day at our favorite breakfast place, Coastal Kitchen.
Then it was off to discovery park for a mini hike to the water.
Ella wasn't sure what she thought of this Seattle beach. And I have to agree with her, Hawaii does have better beaches.
She was, however, pretty impressed with all the driftwood.

My musical family


Jon and Ella on the mirimba has practically become part of our morning routine. These picture are so sweet to me because they really capture the moment.
Ella likes to feel the vibration on her face.
