Kids Swimming Party

We hosted our first kids swimming party with Ella this past Saturday, June 23rd for our congregation.  We had about 30 kids varying different ages come and everyone seemed to have a great time despite the breeze and semi-warm weather.  We were hoping for a hot sunny day, but it all worked out!  Ella was her usual clingy self at the beginning of the party but was more sociable towards the end.

Overall, we had a fun time with all the kids and their folks.  Ella behaved for most of it which was great especially since she didn't get her afternoon nap. When we got home, I notice she got her first knee scrape ;(  Doesn't seem to bother her but still breaks my heart to see her get hurt.
