Cheetos

Two Saturdays ago, we went to a minor league baseball game
to support our new local team, the Potomac Nationals.
Ellie did well and had a lot of fun.

Watching the game with Daddy.

Snack in each hand... almost the whole game. Here she is
giving the eye to other people in the crowd.

She had to sit on her own bench.... of course. She
loved having her cheetos. They tend to make most
situations more pleasant when it comes to Ellie. She
even cheered with her snacks whenever the crowd
would start cheering for something.

Her smile almost makes it hard to notice how hard
she was trying to get out of my arms and back on her
own bench.

Mom and Dad. I hate taking pictures of myself, but sometimes
it must be done.

Ellie stealing away for a moment with a Diet Coke
(on her box, as usual--some books from Army
War College that Grandpa will apparently never get to).

The 3 crazies were all sitting and waiting for their turn to
do tricks and earn their treats. This was Ellie's turn... and the
boys tried to be patient... rather than steal her food like usual.

Yay dirty dog dishes!

Ellie and Tucker with "the box".

Ellie discovered that she likes eating apples with Dad.

Apple-chewing face.

YUM!

Ellie's new push-ride toy. She was confused when we
sat her down... but as we showed her it moved, her face
lit up and she was happy.

Ellie's first popsicle!
(PS- they make these mini ones that are supposed to melt
slower... they are awesome. I highly recommend them! She
was hardly messy at all after eating the whole thing.)

But she found a leaf and forgot which hand held the treat.

Occasionally she bit down on the cold too hard,
but it made for a fun picture. She's too funny.
