Every Sunday Mom and Ella hang out together while Dad is at work. This past week we made a day of it and took a field trip out to western Mass and found a zoo, park, and train ride. Mommy and Ella wake up early and we left the house pretty early too. We got to the zoo park a half hour before it opened. Lucky for us they came prepared and had a beautiful garden to walk through and a big Ella-fied playground.
There were tons of kids at the playground already, apparently Ella isn't the only early bird. Suprisingly many of them were exactly the same age as Ella. We met a little friend on the slide who was a little afraid, so Ella showed him out it was done.
Then it was zoo time. We were off - we saw monkeys (to which Ella always said "who who who"), wolves, chickens, kangaroo, turtles, bears, a caged racoon (hopefully not for rabies purposes), and Ella favorite - a giant bunny.
After a long walk around the zoo, we were off to the train. That was Mom's favorite part. We got the whole train to ourselves for a small fee of $6. Plus the weather was just right - sunny and breezy.

After all of that fun, it was time to eat - and boy did Ella enjoy a very yummy grilled cheese.
After a good lunch and a lot of fun it was time for the big ride home. We hit the car and giggled the whole way. Miss Ella figured out that she can stick her finger up her nose and Mommy couldn't help but laugh along.
A perfect day!
