Ella and Bennett: Vacation Part 1

Last week we headed down to SA for a few days. First stop, BB's house. Thankfully Brooke rode with us so I had an extra set of hands but I'm sure she was wishing she had driven herself, at least on the way home because if Bennett was awake, Bennett was ticked off! The poor boy has never cried so much and so hard. I sure hope this wasn't an indicator for our flight on Wednesday. SA was great. Ella woke up Wednesday and was asking if it was time to go and probably asked a hundred times if we were there yet in the car. We might rethink our plans of driving to CO in December. The princess might get her way afterall. Thursday we had a playdate at my friend Leslie's house with her kids, Amanda and Liam and then Brooke and her mom came over too. I forgot my camera so no cute kid pictures to post from that playdate. Friday my mom took off and we went to the Witte Museum after lunch at Alamo Cafe for old times sake. The museum was lots of fun for the kiddos. Saturday was a full day with a swim party at Lisa's house for some friends and kids and then a reunion party for the adults that evening. Ella was in the pool for at least 3 hours and had so much fun. She made instant friends with Mallory and Scarlett and already loves Hudson. Those girls had so much fun playing and swimming in pool. They barely got out to eat or even snack that is until they found out there were brownies! Ella got in the car, took one sip of water and instantly fell asleep - successful day! The girls (adults) had fun catching up by the pool and then lots of fun Saturday night kid-free. We saw a variety of different people from high school that we hadn't seen in so long. It was fun to see so many faces.
