On Sunday took a ride to Santa Cruz to meet up with our friend Rebecca and her daughter Ella who were visiting from NY. When Ella saw the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz she said, “Oh – I am so excited, I love Santa Cruz. I can’t wait to go to the carnival!” Ella’s enthusiasm is so fantastic and sweet. We had a really fun day and Ella wants to go back. We were supposed to go to Hawaii today but we postponed the trip for next summer. There were tropical storms heading towards Kauai and we decided that we didn’t want to risk being stuck in our hotel room because of thunder storms. The whole reason we wanted to go to Hawaii was to relax on the beach and it didn’t really seem like we were going to be guaranteed to do that. Instead, we are going to Guerneville for a few days. I should have pictures up by Friday evening.
Just another instrument that Ella is into! I wonder which one she will choose.
Ella was really into the arcade games.
Ella and Ella on a virtual game. Our Ella loved it and was giggling for most of it.

Here we all are outside of the restaurant.
Ella having a blast on the “carnival” rides.
I can’t believe Ella is in the rides by herself! What a milestone for Ella and Mommy and Momma. Miss you and love you. Mom
