Singing songs which Ella loves to do as you can see she was the only one to stand up to sing and dance.

This is Ella's first year to get spend time with all of her cousins at Camp Gramma. We left Monday afternoon and arrived in Hutch a little bit before dinner time and orientation. After dinner we had a orientation were we sang songs, handed out Camp Gramma shirts, and talked about this year's theme We Are Family.

There were 3 tents set up in the backyard along with a playhouse, swimming pool, trampoline, zip line and many other activities. Ella is sleeping in the tent with all the girls and Gramma. She was really excited to be a big girl and sleep with all the girls. Although I think she is one of the last one's to sleep and usually the first one to wake up.

So much fun already and this is only the first night of Camp Gramma.

VBS County Fair

Dunking our Pastor but he fought back by shooting everyone with a water gun.

Cake Walk

It was the only game that was inside so we enjoyed spending quite awhile in the cool. Ella won 3 times and she chose cookies and cupcakes.

Soda Toss

Can we go yet?
Digging in the sand

Our Vacation Bible School theme was the County Fair. So on Sunday night they had a big fair with a Ferris Wheel, horse rides, petting zoo and a bunch of games. It was alot of fun but it was extremely hot and after 2 1/2 hours we were ready to leave, well at least John and I were ready to leave.

Going for a walk

We went on a walk and I had Ella walk with me instead of riding her bike. It gets too hard to push the stroller and control Ella on her bike. She was jammin' to the Ipod and held onto the stroller the entire walk. She was so funny listening to music and singing along. But she doesn't like the heat and was ready to be done walking because she told me she was sweating.

We spent the 4th at my Grandparents with my dad, aunts, uncles and cousins. It was really nice weather and Ella had a lot of fun playing with her cousin Avery who is also 3. The girls had fun pushing each other on the swings and watching the fireworks. Hudson was having fun watching the girls run around and watching Daddy play the bean bag toss game. The girls were really cute together. After each fire-cracker they would cheer and clap for their daddy's. We all had a great night but we were all exhausted Ella was so tired she fell asleep about 10 minutes into the car ride and Hudson fell asleep right after her.
