Last weekend we made an unexpected trip to Boone for a nice little vacation. We stayed in a cabin on a river and made a trek to Tweetsie Railroad. We all had a lot of fun and would have loved to been able to stay longer. Tonight I will post the video of Ella singing about her "shiny rocks" that she found and then will plan on posting tomorrow more about the weekend along with some pictures. Ella is a collector of everything. She collects grass, leaves, berries, flowers, paper strips, stickers, pretty much anything imaginable. She has loved the times when she has been able to go to a "gem mine" and hunt for gems so while we were at the river she was especially fond of finding any rocks that were shiny. Luckily we talked her into leaving them there or we may have had to leave with buckets full but here is the song that Mike captured after a morning of finding rocks. She also loves to make up songs. She will sing about anything and puts it to tunes of her own or tunes of other songs. This one is partly to the tune of a Thomas the Tank Engine song and partly to her own tune. Enjoy the song!!!
