Sometime in the middle of last week, Ella decided that on Sunday (today), we were going to go to the Aquarium by the Bay and then bungee jumping. Today was an absolutely beautiful day and we had a great time. Not much to say – the pictures and video pretty much say it all. Actually, Ella got pretty mad at me today. Ella loves jumping up and down on the bungee but she’s always a little afraid of flipping. Today she decided that she wanted to flip, but she wanted to do it by herself…she didn’t want the guys to help her. Ella was just too light to flip by herself so the guy wanted to help her. I was encouraging her to let the guy help her and he finally did. Ella actually didn’t mind flipping but she was pissed that the guy did it. She had a look on her face when she unhooked from the bungee thing and Sunny asked her what was going on. Ella had a very mad look and Sunny asked her what she was mad about. She looked straight at me and pointed to my face. She was mad that I kept encouraging her to let the guy help her. She said that she wanted to do it by herself. I was happy that she could do that – that she could tell me that she was mad at me. I told her that I was sorry. She was cool with that.
Bubble girl!
Patiently waiting to touch the sharks and rays.
Check out the wet arm and hand.
Going for it – the shark hat kid next to Ella was annoying.
Great form! This was before the flip. I didn’t catch the flip on video, but the video is really sweet.
I wish I could have been there to see the first flip! And how casual Ella is now petting the sharks and rays. Love you. Mom
