Opening Day...
Ravens, 17 vs. Bengals, 10

Go Ravens!!
The game.... that place was packed!
The Raven's marching band playing their tribute to Ozzy Osburne... Mama I'm Coming Home. It sounds a lot different when its played by a marching band!!
Way to go Ravens!!
Post game update... The temporary tattoos aren't as temporary as I thought and my nose and shoulders are still rosy! But, Woo Hoo! it sure was fun!!
Take that, Hanna!!
Well, the playgrounds were muddy, Tot Town at the mall was under construction, and we had our fill of cartoons so what else is a girl to do??
Put on our boots and slicker and PLAY!
And no, we didn't get blown away.... well, almost!
Singing in the rain...
Splish, splash!!
And the reward for making it through the storm... An amazing rainbow that crossed over the entire sky!

Burying herself in the sand... I don't know if she had more fun covering herself up or wiggling out!
Having fun in the largest sandbox ever!!
So many things to look at and learn about.
Look, Ellie is a mermaid!
Her new "Barbie"... This one really threw her off. "Barbies aren't boys!"

Spinning in the inner tube. This big girl insisted on "I do it by myself!"
"See Mommy, I told you I could do it by myself!"
Cheese!
Note: She is not by herself on a raft in the middle of the pool. If she was I would not have been taking a picture of it, the camera would have been on a chair and I would have been on my way to go get her!
She was hiding behind the big fish!
See my tongue!!
Playing Frisbee with Daddy in the back yard.
Wee! Down the slide!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Look at the next photo to see what she thought was so funny!
Unka Bob falling in the water to catch a Frisbee. This had her going for almost 20 minutes!

Enjoy...
Skipping along in the Woodland Garden.
Ellie running ahead of me on the nature trails.
Story time.
Learning about the screech owl.
Learning about the eco-system.
Matching the birds and their calls.
Matching the trees and their leaves.
Flowers and their scents.
