We had a really great time with the Blake side of the family, too.  (My excuse for posting so many pictures is that I have lots of old posts without any pictures.  I'm trying to balance it all out.)

Here are a couple of pictures of Eliana with her Cass.

We were reading a book together.  She loves reading.  Or at least the camera.

Some cuddle time on the porch with Grandma and Cass.

This was her first time in pigtails.  Now that I write it, that seems . . .unclean.  But how could something that cute be unclean?

And our trip down to the river.  She loves the cold water. 
She would have gone all the way in if I had let her.

On our first trip to the river, Eliana was at home taking a nap.
Check out that view.

The view at the river was amazing, but the path down to it was another story.  Steep, muddy, overgrown.
I did it the first day in flip flops.  Not too pretty.

On the second day I wore my Aqua Socks (I'm assuming that's a proper name).  Impressive, I know.  You thought Aqua Socks were a thing of the past.  They solved the mud issue, but they didn't keep me from falling into the river.  There's a video of my mishap, but it doesn't seem to do it justice.  I didn't get washed downstream, exactly, but I got plenty wet.  The rescue involved a large tree limb and Big Cass' leg.
This picture, which you might recognize from Leah's blog, was taken just moments after my river escapade.
