Vacation Begins

Last week, Ela and I took a little trip to Deep Creek where we got to hang out with her grandma, granpa, an aunt and uncle, and a bunch of Ela's second cousins. They played at the lake almost every day.

We did a little hiking, too.

And while the other kids enjoyed a rocket display, Ela enjoyed playing Super Baby in the wind.

It was really nice to hang out with some family again, especially after so much time out of country. What a great way to kick off a month or so of serious vacationing!
