Good times with Ella

For many months Nola referred to all children her age as 'Ella' - my dear friend Michelle's little girl's name. So any time spent with Ella is a great time in deed. This summer we ventured to Navy Pier with Michelle and Ella to explore the Chicago Children's Museum.
It was so fun to watch the girls play and figure out all the museum had to offer - and wonder why they didn't have these cool places when we were growing up!
The girls loved the block party area - complete with stage to be a band, carts to sell hot dogs and ice cream and so much more. They got wet in the water area and bowled a little.
We even got to do the parachute with balls!
What a great day it was - and the girls can't wait to go back soon.
