We headed up to the mountains this weekend with the Spruills. On Saturday we skied Vail and put Elsie in ski school – this is her 5th time in ski school and they still have her on the magic carpet. On Sunday we decided to take her up the Gondola at Beavercreek and see if [...]
We took a quick visit to the aquarium last weekend and Elsie got to meet some mermaids … Elsie was giving them all her mermaid wisdom … she had just fed the sting rays and was very impressed with herself. After the tour we ate in the Water room … Silas was too interested in [...]
Elsie doing her best Happy Birthday song…
If your birthday is coming up, Elsie is ready to sing for you! She has recently been mentioning her upcoming birthday (a mere 8 months away) and how much she likes birthdays in general.
