Spring Ballet Rehearsal

Grandma's Visit

Grandma came to visit at the end of May, just in time for the last day of school and the ballet recital.  What a wonderful few days enjoying Medina Lake, the River walk and girl time!   We sure do miss her :)

Hope's Visit

In May I attended a photography workshop and my friend, Michelle and her daughter, Hope came for the weekend.  Michelle is a photographer I knew in Hawaii and she's since moved to Arizona.  It was so nice to hang out with an old friend who shares the same passion of photography.  The girls had so much fun playing and hanging out for 4 days.  It was great!!!

At the Alamo....

Sea World

We have season passes to Sea World and Ella and I enjoy going during the week.  This year, she's been able to ride all the rides in the kids area herself and even wanted to try the bog water shoot ride, Journey to Atlantis...

Here she is waiting in line for the 'big' ride...

Going up for the first time.....

And after... she had so much fun we did it 3 times in a row (she was soooo proud!)  and then she watched mesmerized at the towering fall while enjoying the splash...
