The family headed up to New Jersey this week to spend some QT with Grandma Bebe and Popi. It was nice being by the beach as the weather was HOT, HOT, HOT, and we would get a nice breeze from the lake/ocean. We also had some fun times with the family...
Here is Grandma Bebe with Julianna and Ellie, relaxing on Bebe's favorite chair. Julianna had named her new baby doll "Baby Ellie" and was very good at feeding her applesauce.
Evie joins the fun - somebody must have said something funny...The girls would then have a great time having some stroller/grocery cart races with their baby dolls down the driveway.
The next morning we piled into the strollers and walked to the playground. Evie was a big fan of climbing around and then walking along the wooden barrier - her big thing now is keeping balance (something she learned in ballet?).
Popi gives Evie a big push on the swings. "Higher!" she calls!
That night, we celebrated Aunty Casey's birthday one night early with Popi's famous spaghetti and meatballs and ice cream cake!
Stan had a very serious look until he got his piece of cake. He was also great at singing Happy Birthday to his mom!
Daddy and Ellie enjoy the rendition of "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" sung by Grandma Bebe. I think Ellie has her eyes on the ice cream cake.
We got some great shots of Ellie that night - all smiles as we sing her favorite song, "Your Nose," on the Sandra Boynton "Blue Moo" CD.
The next day was going to reach 110 degrees in the heat index, so we found a great place to escape inside at the Monmouth Museum. Evie enjoyed being a pirate captain and asked Mommy and Daddy to be her crew.
Daddy readily accepts and takes the wheel with Ellie strapped on (and sleeping). Land ahoy!
Evie enjoyed checking out the fishies in the aquarium. It was also a good opportunity to practice her fish kisses!
At the Tiki Theater, Evie dresses up as a hybrid zebra mermaid and twirls her new friend around.
She and Mommy had a fun time playing with the puppets too.
Mommy and Daddy were very proud when Evie conquered her fears and crossed the rope bridge all by herself! What a great pirate!
