the christensen's: Shark Reef at Mandaly Bay

Shark Reef at Mandaly Bay

Today was a GREAT day. After some lame homework Stewart had we decided to have a family day and headed down to Mandalay Bay. I thought Ella would like it but I had no idea that she would absolutely love it. I can't believe how excited she was. She would run from tank to tank blowing kisses at the fish, waving at them saying hi, and even kissing the glass. It was so cute to watch. She would just stand there and laugh and clap her hands. She literally could not get enough. At one part you can actually touch some fish so we just set her on the ledge and she turned around and tried to scoot in..... so funny. Then we went to the new town square mall and walked around and let her play in the darling playground they have there. I love my little family so much and had such a great day just spending time with them. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or a more adorable daughter- they make me so happy.

This pretty much sums up how much she LOVED the Shark Reef. I'm sure we will be back soon.

Ella and Daddy checking out all the little fish. This was when we fist walked in and she was sooo excited she couldn't sit still. So much to look at:)

This is a scary picture of me but oh well. Ella is trying to escape from my grasp to go look at all the other fish.

Trying to climb into the fish tank..... to bad the glass is so dang thick:)

The funny things Miss Ella says

Stewart and I were trying to decide what to do with Ella so we were spelling out words. We talked about going to the p-a-r-k! We didn't even think she was paying attention. In the car she says, " I want to go to the p-r-ck and play." I don't even know how she knew what we were spelling. A few letter off but that is pretty good:)

We asked Ella if she wanted to go get ice cream after the park and she said, " I want strawberry ice cream with sprinklers."

We were shopping and I said to Ella, "you are a monkey," and she looked at me and said.... " I not a monkey I a child of God!"

Stewart and I are getting new phones in a few days. Yesterday I said to him, "guess what we get in just a few more days?", and Ella says to me (very excited) "PRESENTS."

The other night I was getting Ella ready for bed. I was brushing Ella's teeth in the bathroom and she was acting really silly so I called her a tool. She says to me, " no, I a hammer:)"

Ella's fav pastime is reading books. My Mom got her a book about the Nativity. We were reading it and she was pointing everyone out. She then pointed to one of the wise men with a white beard and said, "this king Triton." (The little mermaid)
