Elsa & Karna November Adventures



November is my last full month home with Elsa, so I took it as an opportunity to take Elsa on some great adventures. She is now 4 months old and 15 pounds and a great traveler.

Our first overnight plane trip without Daddy was to Newport Beach to visit my friend Tracy and her daughter Sage. We wandered around Balboa Island and found giant Pumpkins.



Sage was wonderful at the big sister role and even had a matching sleeper!



The next Monday was Track Suit Monday in the park. This was our last outdoor park meeting, as it is getting colder and wetter and not as easy to meet up. Sunny continues to be a good friend to play with.



Our big November trip was to Boston. Elsa dressed up in her outfit from Uncle Carter as we packed for the trip.



While it was a long flight with a lap baby, it was nice to arrive and get to enjoy sunny cold New England Days. I liked dressing Elsa in my childhood warm weather wear and let her play in the fall leaves.



We visited my friend Phoebe in Bedford and enjoyed some Bedford Farms ice cream!



Then we met up with my mom's cousin Betsy, who lives in Brookline, near where I used to live.



Also in Brookline was Joy and her kids Axel and Annika. Elsa had fun playing with Annika who is 2 months older then her.



On Saturday, Amanda and Carter took us around Boston, starting in the Boston Gardens. We stopped by the Make Way For Ducklings statues.



Elsa is my special little duckling.



It was nice to have Amanda carry Elsa for some of the day - they looked very good together.



We even got to meet with Santa.


There was a random photo booth for the Boston Ballet that took a crazy photo of the 4 of us and the nutcracker bear.



When we got home, Carter and Elsa took some time to chill out on the couch.



We had a wonderful trip.
