Saturday Fun

We had a lot of fun last weekend!  This post is going to be about what we did on Saturday, but first, I wanted to put up a few pictures of the adorable little outfit that Ella wore on Friday.  My mom bought it for her, and it's a little smocked pants suit with tiny blue sailboats all over it. The front has a little sailboat, palm tree, and sunrise over the ocean on the bishop collar.  Ella LOVES it, and she's so cute in it!  Here she is, playing in her play gym on Friday night, before she got dinner and her bath...

She got curious about the camera and came in for a closer look...

Playing in her Exersaucer...

Okay...So on Saturday, we decided to go out to Bass Pro Shops so that James could look at the stuff featured in their Fall Hunting Classic.  On the way out there, we encountered a surprise - the St. Louis Gun Show was being held across the street!  Of course, we had to stop in and take a look. 

Like father, like daughter - Ella was fascinated by all the colorful stuff on the tables. 

She especially liked the big plastic boxes.

Then, we headed to Bass Pro.  James compared their gun prices to those at the gun show.

We also wandered outside to the ATV exhibit. 

They had an obstacle course set up, and of course James had to take one of the machines for a spin. 

Getting his instructions...

Releasing the brake!

There he goes!

Ella was worn out from the gun show, so she passed on the ATV exhibit.

Once we headed back into the air conditioning, she woke up, ready to go again!

We went to a restaurant nearby for hamburgers, and she decided that she was a big girl, who should get a sip of Daddy's coke.

So she went for it...

But unfortunately....

She doesn't know how to use a straw or drink out of a glass...

So all she could do was lick the condensation off the side.

Maybe next time, I suppose!
