THE FLIGHT...
Elle's first flight!
Passing time... of course Reece found a few buttons to push. Fortunately he didn't sound any alarms!
And we're off! I love the look on Reece's face as we ascend... the windows were low enough that he could see everything. He loved the plane ride... and of course the juice he was served and the lollipop we gave him!
We made it!
AROUND THE HOUSE...
Elle was captivated by Skyler!
Elle loved eating dinner with Matt and Trenton.
Aaron made us jambalaya... yum!
Grandpa and Grandma's jacuzzi tub was a hit!
I just love these two pictures of Great Grandma Betty and Elle!
EXPLORING...
Reece loved Grandpa's tools!
Reece spied a rabbit in the garden. He tried to get closer, but it ran away just in time!
Reece loved helping Grandpa feed the birds, water the plants, and spray to keep the bunnies away (oh, Grandpa!).
Searching for bats!
Purple bubbles with Grandma!
This is the view from the kitchen window. I thought Reece was in the garage with Grandpa, but as I was washing dishes something red caught my eye... He just LOVED being outside!
Reece enjoyed pushing the buttons on Uncle Chris' lawn mower... even more than riding it!
This is the only place the cat was safe!
GRADUATION CELEBRATIONS...
Elle waited patiently for the ceremony to start.

Congratulations Zach, Shelby, and Haley!
THE ZOO...
Tonya and Tinley joined us!
Reece fit right in with this class!
Elle was fearless.
Proof of our exhaustion! After lunch (french fries and apple juice) we headed over to the train feeling refreshed.
Thank you, Grandma!
FISHING...
Thank you Uncle Matt for taking Reece on his first fishing trip... and for treating him to McDonalds!
A trip to the bait shop to get minnows and by Matt's friends house to get the key to the pond first.
Reece and Aaron really reeled in a fish!
Thank you to all of our family for such a great time. We love you and are grateful for our time with you. We already can't wait for next year!
