Bill and Deb's February visit

Ellie inching into the hotel pool.

Twirling around with Daddy! Faster, faster, faster!!!

Daddy hugs!

Ellie is getting a little brave in the water jumping to Bill without a floaty. The shallow end of the pool was 2 1/2 ft deep and she was able to stand on her own so this was her first time walking in the water... I think it was as fun for us to watch as it was fro her to do!!

Btw... notice her bottoms seemed to grow a little in the water, just enough to show some Ellie-crack!

Splish Splash!!

Just hanging out in the H2O!

Ellie and Bill ready for a splashin' good time!!

Kisses from Grandma.

The monkey bars are lots of fun when you have a helping hand!

Speaking of monkeys... Ellie doesn't need any help with this!

Ellie in her 3-D shades... Woah!!

Child labor!

Ellie after her first day of dance class! When I asked her what she learned... Nothing! I asked her if she danced... No! Hmmm... maybe I need to look into what we are paying for!

But as I was sitting outside while she was in class I heard her blurt out, "I got a new potty seat at home yesterday!" I still don't know why but apparently that was something that everyone needed to know!

But all in all she said she had a good time and wanted to go back next week! Sounds like a success!

Ellie watching my car get new tires!

See, this is exciting stuff!
