Family Day at the Park

Our trip to Illinois was well documented so I just now got around to looking at these photos from our trip to Wildlife Prairie Park! There were a few that are in my top ten from the summer. Enjoy!

please don't be concerned -- Nathan's holding her and hiding behind the sign.

Grandpa Van's farm no longer has livestock, so here was Ellie's first opportunity to meet some creatures a tad bigger than our dog, Reagan!



This photo is one of my favorites. Hannah loves Ellie so much and you can see it on display here. As for Ellie, for a girl who doesn't yet say a word, her face sure speaks volumes. She was fascinated with the chickens (not so much with the sheep).

The park was a good walk.

Photos of the three of us are few and far between. I love Ellie's hands on our arms.
*in case you're wondering why Ellie wasn't wearing her glasses, she had a VERY runny nose which she would wipe with an upward sweep of her hand as soon as she saw a Kleenex coming towards her! It didn't take long before she couldn't see through her glasses so we just took them off!
