What do you do on a cold February weekend?

You take the party and fun inside! And that is exactly what we did last weekend. Ella and I took Daddy to see Ella's new favorite place, Discovery Place Kids. It is the new children's museum that we joined and Ella loves it! The only problem is, she can't decide what to do next or what area to play in. There are so many choices! Trying out the balance beam first! Unfortunately, I think her dream of an Olympic gymnast might not happen given her height! Time to ride in the convertible and make a deposit at the bank! She was fascinated by the tube going back and forth with the money!
I am not sure if she likes the money more or the hot red convertible!!
One area we literally had to drag her away from was the giant water table. Unfortunately, I think she spilled more water all over her and the floor than actually made it back in the table.
I think she thought it was bath time when you can just pour buckets and cups of water all over yourself. But the water spilling and splashing all over didn't bother her one bit. I can't wait until summer so we can spend lots of time at the pool!
Finally, one last picture for Papa and DeeDee! Ella is ready to ride on a dolphin at Seabrook!! Not sure if she loved this part too much.
After a fun filled morning where she literally ran from one exhibit to another, we were all hungry for some lunch and what better place than Ella's (and ours) favorite, Chick-fila. After eating some yummy chicken and fries, we headed over to the playland. Ella was such a big girl and climbed all the way to the top and was ready to head down the slide.
Here she comes! Don't you know, all the cool kids ride on their stomachs. I wish you could see her smile, she was laughing and squealing and having such a good time.
Then Daddy came down after her and I think their expressions say it all.
Such a fun way to spend Saturday morning on a cold, dreary February day. We are definitely dreaming of warmer weather but until it comes, we will have to find more fun things to do indoors. And that was only Saturday, Superbowl party pics to come soon. Finally, a big happy shout out to one of my oldest and best friends, Amy, who had a precious baby girl today in Dallas. Abby Elizabeth Minton is here and Ella can't wait to meet her newest little buddy soon!
