Princess For a Week!

Dear Ella,

This week we traveled by aircraft to visit Grammy and Pap Pap in Redding, CA. It didn't take you long to figure out that all eyes were on you...all week:) Regardless of being completely and wonderfully spoiled by your Grandparents (including Papa Peter), Great Aunt Debbie, Grammy's friends, and your four adoring Aunts (Beth, Kim, Ashley, and Rae), you did a wonderful job being out of routine for a week. Sure, the flights and car rides were exhausting keeping you busy the whole way; and the first few nights were rough (sorry Debbie and Beth); you eventually fit right into the groove for the week.

We did so many fun things!

Went for walks/runs around the neighborhood, swam in Grammy's pool, visited the lavender fields, played in the nursery at Bethel Church, went hiking, read lots of books, went thrifting, ate yummy food, and played lots of games!

It was so nice to have Aunt Beth visiting from Australia while we were there! Aunt Debbie was there for a few days too! To top it off, Papa Peter and Aunt Rachael drove through and said "hi" on their way up the coast.

So much family and so much fun! We couldn't have asked for a more memorable trip.

Love,
