These handsome dudes are related to Ellie....HUGE shocker....

Whenever someone says that Ellie looks like me, I think to myself that if they met these boys who are Dion's sisters sons, Ellies beloved cousins, they would never say that again.  Ellie looks like a Garrett, she IS a Garrett, through and through. Personality and all. Man, I love her. We had a great time up north with the Garrett clan last weekend.  We did almost nothing, so that is a successful vacation, eh? Beautiful weather, amazing scenery, good company....it was nice. :)

Yes, its true.

Mackinac Island

Ellie, Aria and Dion had fun in the butterfly house, Joc was too scared to go in....We all spent alot of our time outside in the grass in front of Mission Point....
Aria having a tantrum in the grass in front of Mission Point...this one happened to be after she BIT Ellie -typical response to hurting someone, being really stubborn and and not in the least bit sorry.  Gotta love being 2 1/2
