March Farms

What started as a fun play date at March Farms...


-




Ended in this...




A sprained wrist from a fall from the monkey bars. Ella was a trooper! Still had a good time after a visit to urgent care with dinner at a pizza place with Fiona.

Ella the Lacrosse Player

Ella has suddenly become interested in lacrosse. We don't know anyone who plays it, but she is interested in all the equipment( saw a lot at Dick's one day recently)...not sure if she'll like the actual game or she just like the "stuff" that goes with it. Today Ella drew a picture of herself and Fiona as lacrosse players. Too cute.

Key Lime Pie

Made Justin a key lime pie for Father's Day( 2 days late since we were in Maine for actual Father's Day)...think it turned out ok!

Maine

We spent a wonderful weekend in Maine celebrating Garrett and Allison's engagement.
We had fun walking around town when we arrived on Friday afternoon. Stayed in a house right in kennebunkport. Could walk to town and the beach. Ate at Federal Jacks on Friday night-had a complete gluten free menu! I had blackened haddock which was so great.
Saturday we took a long walk and then went to the beach where the kids played before we headed to the engagement party. Party food was so good-fresh shrimp, clam chowder, lobster rolls and hamburgers.
Sunday we walked in town again and had a nice Father's Day brunch before heading home. Had so much fun!

Shopping list

Ella wrote our shopping/packing list for our trip to Kennebunkport, Maine for Garrett and Allison's engagement party.
I love seeing the writing process in kids...you can see the phonetic spelling....so cute. She's really reading now and beginning to write while sounding words out.

The list is:
Dried up cheerios( ha, ha!)
Bread
Rice cakes
Ice packs( for the cooler I guess)
Peanut butter and jelly
Cream(for coffee!)
Granola bars
Juice boxes
?
Yogurt

Strawberry picking

We had one nice day... In between the raindrops and went strawberry picking at Jones' Farm...picking was great-think the kids ate as many as we picked! Highlight was riding


the "berry ferry" out to the field(a truck that you sit on the back of....)

Recital

Ella ( and Ava) danced in their 3rd(!) dance recital last weekend. They were Rapunzel. So cute-what a great job. Two shows over the weekend made for tired girls! Even Connor came to the 7pm show on Saturday night( Daddy, Bubba and Connor left at intermission-Connor wouldn't have made it another hour!)

Ella's self-portrait

At the beginning and end of each school year Ella was asked to do a "self-portrait"
Here's the progression from starting at just 2.10 years-old to 5.5 years old. Pretty neat!
