The first three pics are at Rocky Mountain on June 14th. It was our first trip there of the summer, and Ellery really enjoyed the beach sand and water. She wouldn't look at the camera for a pic, so these are sort of random. The last pic is at the fountains in downtown Rome. Ellery really wanted to keep pouring a cup of water. Sometimes it is the simple toys!

Ellery is pretty scared of the water in the pool so far. She spends her time in a float, sitting on the ladder, or in someone's arms. Maybe she will get brave as the summer progresses.

A shot of all three kids--they weren't dressed for pics, but that may be the best way to get cooperation!

Just a picture of the cicadas that are everywhere! Ellery says "so loud!".

Even though Ellery only went to the preschool during the times I taught Spanish, she was allowed to participate with her class as a dwarf for the song Heigh-Ho in the end of year program. I didn't get any great pictures, but here is one of her walking with her beard and shovel.
