Skate Park

Ellie love going to the stake park.  She is very comfortable on her scooter and rides it around and around.  She goes fast and Cooper can’t keep up with her.  She is getting better riding in the skate bowl and will go up the sides some.  She has also started riding my skateboard while I am alongside her holding her hands.

Starfish Adventure

Ellie took Grandma and Granddad on a starfish adventure during low tide at one of our favorite beaches.  They found many starfish and Ellie had Grandma touch one while telling her the story about Cooper wanting to lick one. 

Pirate Legos

This year for my birthday I received this awesome Lego pirate ship.  Both Ellie and Cooper helped me build it over a couple of days. Ellie is getting very good at building Legos.  She can look at the instructions, find the pieces and put them together.  She loves putting all the people / pirates together.  Here she combined some of her Legos with this set allowing the pirates could be confrontable when sleeping and giving a few of them magical powers with star wands.  Cooper on the other hand is just learning how to follow the Lego directions and enjoyed using the Lego pirate cannons, which do really shoot Legos.
