We hit the zoo again and Ella gets to do something she missed last time -

climb on the gorilla with no one waiting behind her.

She really likes it...

Nesting...

Not Ella's best work on the cutout.

Before lunch, Ella wants a picture with the skeleton statue, but is a bit shy.

After lunch, she warms up quickly.

Over at Jason & Abigail's, we sit down for an upscale - er - high country boil of veggies and crab.

Abs plays with Ella for a while, first throwing her,

then playing tag in the front yard.

Then to the fountain to feed the fish.

Great day.
Thanks for the feast, Jason, Abigail, and Nate!
