Trip to NaNa and Paw Paw's

Ella and I just got back from New Mexico where the weather was perfect, Ella was a toot and I was exhausted!! It started off on Monday morning when we had to go to Dr to get Ella's cast off. Radiographs showed that poor little Ella is a "slow grower". Uhhh no kidding!!! Her arm is still broken and they put a new (pink, of course) cast on for FOUR more weeks!!!! YIKES!!!! Twelve hours later, we finally arrive, stinky and tired to mom and dad's.

Tuesday morning could not have come early enough for Ella because she was going to ride her horse, Bandit. It is all she talks about since she rode him in June. She LOVES that horse. Don't know if the feeling is mutual, but he does pretty well with her.

Wednesday Ella woke up to Blueberry muffins and three candles. Today was her birthday. Dad decided to take her fishing. She really enjoys fishing. But what I did not think of was a fishing pole for HER!!! The other times we have gone we took a kid rod. It lasted about 15 min before she was off onto something else because the poor rod was WAY bigger than she was!!!

Thursday was another Bandit day. Once we arrived, I could tell the horses were not in the corral and had a sneaking suspicion they probably took them on a trail ride for guest at the Resort. Holy Cow. You would have thought Bandit was never EVER coming back. Ella FREAKED out that he was not there. I mean, FREAKED. Lost it. Mom and I did the best we could to entertain her for the next little bit as we drove home. She crashed in the car on the way home and when I was getting her out of her car seat, she mumbled something about Bandit. As soon as she woke up from her nap, down the mountain we trecked to ride Bandit again!!!

Friday we flew home to one lonely daddy and puppy dog. The trip was nice overall. I got to spend some time with Ella Bella before baby boy arrives!!!
