Grandpa Jer playing dollies with Ellie. Oh, the things you will do for that little girl!

Apple kisses!

Ellie helping Deb and Nana pull weeds.
Daddy, Ellie, and Grandpa
Ellie swimming with Nana
Kick, kick, kicking with Grandma
Rachel, Ellie, and Jenna at the beach on Sunday
Ellie giving herself even more of a wedgie that she already had
Playing in her improvised pool with Rachel and Jenna.
Rachel, Auntie Deb, and Jenna... Hi girls!!
Grandma and sand-blown Ellie
Ellie giving Abby a "W" (walk) on Saturday evening before dinner.
Look, Grandpa taking Ellie to the bathroom for the first time!
Nana and Deb
MB and Nana
Jenna and Ellie building sand castles.
Ice cream break during "adult swim"
Ellie learning a cheer from Rachel... "I rock, I roll, I rock, I roll, sprirt fingers!!"
Rachel, Ellie and Mommy floating in the pool... what a day!
Deb and MB
Ellie and Uncle Bob cootering.
Rachel in mid jump.
MB and Ellie turtling around the big water.
Blowing bubbles.
Bob doing his chair flip. What a shot!
Ellie jumping off the side.
"Hold my hands Daddy!!"
Splash!! I did it!!
"Now take me there."
Looks like she is hanging out there by herself but she's not!! Tricky, huh?
Mommy and her little goober!
The three amigos!! Ole!
Story time on Saturday morning with Nana.
Grandma will read to me too!
Look, the biggest noodle head ever... Looks like she is ready to "fwim" (or go into battle)!
Rachel, Deb, and Ellie taking a dip on Friday afternoon.
On the sliding board... What a brave little girl!
... and landing in the water, SPLASH!
Thanks for catching me Daddy!
Ellie just checking out the surf and taking it all in. And no, there was no chance she was going in the ocean at all. She even freaked out when your feet got wet and you were holding her. And yes, that made it close to impossible to clean off the sand flea shen she was done playing!
On the sliding board at the beach. Weeee!!
Rachel caught Ellie!
Building castles,
And scoping out the scenery
Rachel and Ellie, hand in hand.
Ellie making sand angles.
Digging holes and looking for sea shells.
Watching Daddy in the water at a very safe distance.... Nope, still not going in!
Look, that is my sand angel!
