Last weekend we took Ella for her first bike ride...she's been on it a few times...but this was her first real bike ride....it was very short...and Josh pretty much had to hold onto the front the entire time...she doesn't have the steering part down yet!
She did a pretty decent job pedaling...by the end she said..."my legs are tired!"
This week a friend of ours had their first baby...so we went and saw them in the hospital the day she was born..Josh and I took turns staying with Ella in the waiting room as children are not allowed to go back...which worked out just fine....we're going over to see them at home tomorrow...so Ella will get to meet Baby Peyton!
Today is July 4th....we had a fairly low-key day...in the morning we actually went to the mall! I wanted to go TJ Maxx....and Bath and Body Works....then we came home and had lunch....then we decided we would go to the Salem fair as it was a little cooler today....but it was still about 85...no breeze, in the bright sun....it was a little toasty! We stuck it out for about 2 hours....then decided we were done. We watched the pig races, and went to the petting zoo....the two big highlights for Ella...and her and her daddy shared a funnel cake....she was all about that! After the fair we went to dinner and then headed home...Ella didn't take a nap at all the entire day...and she talked the WHOLE way home...I thought she would be out like a light once in the car....but noooo! So she was getting towards meltdown time...we weren't risking it....we came home instead of going to see fireworks....but we actually bought some small sparklers and little fireworks that we are going to do tomorrow.
And it's a 3 day weekend...I love it! Tomorrow Josh is going shooting bright and early....and then he's in a shooting competition on Sunday...we're going to go check out the local farmers market...I say it every Saturday that I want to do that and forget about it and remember it after they are already closed. That and cleaning is on my agenda tomorrow!
