Trip to Grandma and Grandpa Machs

I got to see a lot of family over the last week and a half on my trip to South Dakota. I had a great time staying with my Grandma and Grandpa Mach. We did LOTS of fun things (In fact, I may need to do more than one post!)

Ice Cream by the Lake

Feeding the ducks at the park

Story time before bed with Grandpa

After being in South Dakota for a few days we took a trip to Iowa to see my Great Uncle Tim and Aunt Bev. They live on Storm Lake and took me on my first boat ride! It was so fun!

Hop in everyone, I'm ready to go!

Whoa! This is Fun!

ahh...the wind in my hair....

Of course we hit the park before we went back to South Dakota.

Stay tuned for more pictures from my trip. I have to go now. It's already past my bedtime

Trip to Phoenix

I just got back from spending 5 days in Phoenix with my Grandma and Grandpa Warden, Aunt Amy and Uncle Greg, and Cousins Emma and Olivia. They just got a new house there so it was our first time to see it. It was VERY hot there. Over 100 degrees everyday. So I spent A LOT of time in the pool. It was really fun. Here are some of the pictures.

Welcome to my first Blog!

Hi

My name is Ella and this blog is all about me and my adventures in Bolivia. That way the other blog can be for my parents to share with everyone about our ministry. This one will be just for fun and all about ME!

Right now we are still living in Ohio, but I can tell things are starting to change. Our home looks a lot different right now. Over 50% of our things are packed up and we just took a lot of boxes over to our friends house to store. Pretty soon we will have to move in with my Grandma and Grandpa Warden. That will be fun!

Here is how we are spending our summer.

• Move out of the house by June 25th
• My parents friends from college are coming to visit the weekend of June 26th
• June 30-July 5th we will be in Arizona with Grandma and Grandpa Warden and Aunt Amy, Uncle Greg, Cousins Emma and Olivia to see their new home.
• July 22 - Aug 3 we will be in South Dakota to see Grandpa and Grandma Mach, Aunt Kate and Uncle Dan, GG, and the rest of the family!
• Leave for Bolivia Aug 6th or 7th

As you can see we are going to be very busy. I will post pictures throughout the summer!

Love you all,

Ella
