Family photo before leaving the lake after our week of vacation.
Ella eating a smore with Momo while watching Annie. Too cold and rainy to have a fire outside so I did them in the oven.
Mason chilling outside at the lake.
Mark and I got tickets through one of his reps for rooftop tickets to a Cubs game. Mom watched the kids and went to Chicago for 2 days and had a blast. Went out to eat several times, had some beverages and walked all around Michigan Avenue. We brought back deep dish Chicago style pizza for dinner. Ella loved it!

Mommy & Ella going for a paddle boat ride. She wanted to help so bad but still can't reach the peddles.
Ella & Daddy catching fish off the sea wall.
Best idea ever: hooked Mason's bouncy seat to tree outside in the shade. He loved it!
Boat rides
Mason pulled himself to standing on the gate and would walk across.
Ella even got to go to the movies for the first time with Mark on a rainy afternoon. They left around nap time and she fell asleep on the way there. It was questionable whether she would stay awake for it. She woke up they got tickets, glasses (yes it was 3D), and of course popcorn. Mark said he caught her a couple times trying to reach out and touch stuff during the movie from the 3D effects. Mark went in and tried to get some popcorn and Ella nudged him away. We absolutely love going to the lake for a week, wish we could do it more often. Everyone was so relaxed after our week away from home.
