Final days of summer

A couple of weeks ago we took a short drive (5hrs, each way) to Wieser, ID to visit Uncle Mike, Aunt Suzanna, Mikayla, and Brenden. I had a great time, we played all kinds of games and we got to go peach picking at a farm nearby. Here is Dad teaching me all about peaches. He claims to know something about that because he grew up on a farm. I asked him, "how come the grass in the yard is so brown then?"
Next we went into town to and checked out some local shops. I'll let you guess which one was my favorite...
Here is a parting shot of the whole crew. I'm the one in the cute zebra dress.
And while we're on the subject of just how cute I am, here is my game face!! AAAARRRRRR!!!!
Last weekend was our neighbor's 2nd birthday party. Do you see all of those balloons? Come on Dad hurry up, I bet they have CAKE!!
The party was fun, but I spotted something even more exciting, so off I went. I came prepared this time. Checkout my cool aquasocks....
FOUNTAIN TIME!!!! Who knew? I mean I knew the park had swings, and now fountains!! It's pretty cool that it's 90 degrees in Portland now that it's September! I sure hope it stays like this the rest of the year.

One final note! Normally, when I'm running around the house banging drawers, hitting the cat, grabbing the dog's tail, etc. Mom and Dad are always yelling "Ellie NO!!" Well at the party, not only was I allowed to hit something, They gave me a bat to do it with! And when one of the big kids hit it.... all kinds of toys and goodies came out!!! What an AWESOME PARTY!!!
