Family reunion

A week ago we had a family reunion. Grandma rented the house, complete with a pool and hot tub. One day just we went parasailing, AWESOME! Their rule is you have to be five to parasail, but apparently Lucy could do it too. Every night we would play mouse tails, which is a game involving candy.  The beach was great! I went jumping waves like 5 million times- it was so fun! I stayed out there for hours. We also have a new baby cousin named Evelyn(Evey) and she is so cute! Sorry mom didn't take any pictures of us at the beach. After the week was over, we stayed in a hotel and went to Busch Gardens for a day! There were so many rides! I loved it. Lucy went on a lady bug ride like a billion times and she never got bored of it. At the end, we got huge ice cream cones!

It's like Sam's part monkey. Mom has suggested gymnastics, but she refused. Instead? Karate.

Do I look different?

Lucy

This is my sister Lucy/Lulu/Luce(Those are her nick-names) The first year of her life,she was pretty grumpy. It's amazing how she's so silly now.

Sammie

This is Sammie. She's been our nanny for most of the summer, but she went back to Arizona a couple weeks ago. This picture is when we went to Mount Vernon just before she left. As I said in another blog, she does amazing hair. I MISS HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sammie does amazing things in our hair.

Yesterday I made breadsticks shaped like letters. Can you read it? How it started out: Well actually, Lucy and I were just playing with dough, making shapes and stuff. I came up with Lucy's first. Mom asked if I wanted to bake it, and of course I said yes. Then I made one for Sam, and then me. They turned out DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

Hi, this is Ella. Mom said I can take over the family blog, so here I am. You're probably not going to read this, as mom hasn't blogged in a while. and I mean A WHILE.  The last time she blogged was last Christmas. I really hope you like my blog!
