We had a fantastic summer, I will get some pictures up soon. We went camping in May, did a family campout in a cabin with Campfire in June. We also watched the Strawberry festival parade in June, did the 4th of July celebrations which included a parade and fireworks. We went to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Ft. Nisqually, spent the night in a hotel between those two. We went to the Renaissance Faire in Buckley, and camping for three nights at the Ocean near Westport. And we wrapped up the busy summer by spending all day at the Evergreen State Fair, from 10:30am until 9:00pm!
Ellie has a sudden interest in drawing. She didn't even think about coloring or drawing until she was about 5 years old. She didn't color in coloring books, pictures, nothing. And the last two weeks she has spent drawing, completed her first colored picture. The other night Doug came home and found her sketching at midnight a line of necklaces she is going to sell at a booth. Tomorrow we are going to go buy her a sketch book and a nice pencil for said sketching.
I am so pround of her, for a girl who hard no interest who suddenly has an interest she's doing an incredible job.
This is what she drew today, I am a bit sad to see it leave the house but I think her friend is going to LOVE it. It's a princess and a knight with a sheild on a horse.
I don't think I have the time or energy to update this blog daily, as you can see I dwindled my posts for awhile there.
