Ella pretty much had the best first birthday a girl could ask for. With summer in full swing, we decide we got a group together and ventured to Clear Creek to enjoy the sun, warm weather, and friends. We were hoping to get there around 10ish and with a few hiccups ended up getting there closer to 12. We borrowed some Kayaks from some friends of ours and couldn't quite get them tied on right to the roof of our van. We had to stop a few times on the way and resituate them and never really got them tied down super well, but we made it!
Ella pretty much ate sand the whole time. Notice the sandwich in her right hand, but apparently sand tastes better. As long as she was on the shore, she was eating it. Luckily, we got our hands on a cute tiny baby life jacket that kept her occupied on the kayak and in the water. We borrowed 3 small youth kayaks and the kids took turns all afternoon riding them. I wouldn't be surprised if we were proud owners of Kayaks in the future, they are so much fun!
After a day at the Creek, we raced home to have Ella's 1st birthday party. We had cake, ice cream, friends, family, and a few bounce houses. What more could a kid want?! We really love our Ella. She has fit in perfectly with our family and is just the piece we were missing.
