Friday Fun!

Ella and I enjoyed a beautiful day together. We stopped to see the animals and picked peaches!


I think the chicks were her favorite!



Feeding the chickens!





She did a wonderful job picking peaches and enjoyed the tractor ride as well!


I really cherish these moments with her. Her joy spills out of her and it is contagious!

Stanley Camp 2011

Peter and I took Ella to camp for the first time! She seemed to have a lot of fun. Here are some of the moments caught on camera.

We stopped for a picture in the huge red chair along Highway 17.


Ella assumes her position on the pontoon boat upon our arrival to the lake!


Peter and Ella did some swimming by Ross and Jan's cabin.



There they found a froggy friend.

Ella went fishing with her new kids pole. She was the first one to catch fish. Not 1 but 2 lake trout! We were wondering if her kids pole would make it as we helped her reel it in!



The other fun activity was jumping off the dock over and over, fearlessly! It was great to see the absolute joy each time she lunged off the edge!


We also had to take a kayak ride to see the lily pads.

She thought she might take another shot at catching another fish. No fish this time.


Our final stop at the landing.



We did see a moose with her calf swim across the lake as well. An amazing site! Ella seemed to enjoy the experience, as every trip to camp is an adventure. And Peter and I were equally as thrilled to have Ella with us for this trip. She did amazing in every way, even the out-house and the long car trip home! Its a great time to spend with family as well as Peter's sister and family were there along with his dad. Good times! We are blessed!
