Ever since we arrived, Ella has been asking to go to Central Park. We have gone to different parts of Central Park over the years, but Ella’s favorite part of the park is the water aspect. Some of the little parks in Central Park have water squirting from the ground or tubes or hippos or whatever. On Wednesday, Ella and I went into NY and met up with an old friend of mine, Karen. First we went to a fun park with lots of water that Ella loved and then we went to a little amusement park in Central Park. The amusement park is where the Wolman Rink is during the winter. It was pretty much the same as the fair at AT&T park and in Calistoga. Ella loved that too. She went on a bunch of rides and Karen went on some with her. We had a terrific day – spent about 4 hours in Central Park. We came home and grandma had picked up Milo in the afternoon. We had a lot of fun playing with grandma, papa and Milo. In the evening, we were all a little wiped out. My friend Adam came over for dinner – it was great catching up. Today was a great day with some beautiful old friends. Sunny/mommy – we love you and miss you and wish you were still here with us!
Ella having a blast. She was running, galloping (ballet style), jumping, covering the water spouts, playing with the other kids without talking to them…just being a really cool and fun kid.
Karen and Ella became fast friends.

Karen and Ella went on this crazy boat ride. Ell was scared but thrilled and then totally brave.
A sweet and easy boat ride.
Ella took this shot of us.
Ella told us that this would be a perfect tree for her to climb.

I look a little bit like a shark, but look at how Milo was looking at papa. Pure happiness. Ella is getting to be a wonderful photographer.

Beautiful pictures. I can’t believe your three week visit is drawing to a close. Love you. Mom
