Life With Ella

Ella’s sleepover at the Kim/Arena house was wonderful.  The girls played hard all night.  At one point, Helen and Ron peeked in on the girls and they were playing a game that they made up called “Senior Center”.  They made it up from the movie Ponyo where one of the characters works at a senior center.  I will post the senior center pic that Ron took first.  On Sunday, we woke up, and finally at around 9ish knocked on Helen and Ron’s door.  We found the whole family (including Ella) sitting around the table having breakfast.  Ella was wearing a Supergirl costume.  She kind of said hi but didn’t really care that we were there.  It was so beautiful to have her feel so secure with herself and with the Kim/Arena family.  A little while later, we took the kids to the Alta Plaza Park where everyone had so much fun – including KJ who is almost ready to take off running!  After school today, the 3 of us went to Pier 39 – Ella wanted to do a little bungee jumping.  We did that and then went to this crazy Spongebob 4-D movie.  Ella was a little freaked out…it was a pretty rough ride.  Tonight we had dinner with Phyllis and Michael at Pasta Pomodoro.  We all had a really sweet time. Here is the senior center shot.  All 3 girls were sitting together with a blanket on them.  Stella and Juliet had two other friends over.  One played the doctor and the other played the “orderly”.  These kids are too much. The kids were having so much fun doing everything in the park.  KJ even got in on the big kid action. Ella was doing some serious climbing.  She is a confident climber. ON the “zip line” building upper arm strength. Just really happy. Stella on the zip line. Ella was chasing Juliet around the park.  They were playing “prisoner” and Juliet was an escapee… Ella was calling this huge sandbox a pool, so she was jumping into the pool. Ron teaching KJ how to use the big shovel. This is a drum that Ella made today at camp.  They had a little dragon parade today that I got to see when I picked up Ella. Bungee fun! My girls on the crazy Spongebob ride.
