Labor Day Weekend in Missouri

Jason, Ellery and I spent Labor Day weekend in Missouri with Jason's family. Ellery got to go swimming for the first time and she loved it! I'm not sure who was having more fun, Ellery or her daddy. They spent hours swimming together in Jason's grandparent's pool. On Saturday night we went to Lon Fest at John and Ramona's house. It's an anual birthday celebration for Jason and his grandpa Jack. Like always, we had a great time at the party. Ellery had fun chasing their kitty around the yard...she loves kitty cats.

Ellery and her monkey. This helped us keep track of her at the airport. She loves it!

Yesterday Jason and I were working in the garden and Ellery decided to help. It was so funny and she had so much fun. She discovered that playing in the dirt is a lot of fun!
