The Belle of the Ball

We adopted our niece Ella Badger for a couple of weeks this summer and had more than a few fun adventures with her. We affectionately called her "Ella the Bella the Ball" Here are some pictures for the proof.
Ella was very adaptable to her new environment, thankfully and she embraced having a "big sister" who dressed her up in costumes... and "did" her hair.
Here's Ella's famous monkey friend. P.S. The next few photos were shot by Brooklyn.
While attending a BBQ at one of our friends' house, Brooklyn and Ella were each given a cute flower to take home.
Here are a few bathroom essentials just in case we forget to document things like these...
Brooklyn models her sparkly shoes with Ian's bike in the background.
This is the morning when I had a few extra co-op kids. We took a wagon ride to the mall and played in some water by a statue. Livia thought it was time to bathe, apparently.
Here we are at SeaWorld. The walrus mascot was just about the only stranger that Ella did NOT warm up to.
We watched a pet show there at SeaWorld. At the end, the kids got to go up to the stage and pet all the pets. Brooklyn as always, was the most brave about touching these furry friends.



This is just a funny random pic. of Ian after he polished off a fudgesicle.
