This was Elsa's second year at the Lair of the Bear! Last year was a lot of fun, but we did not do very much. This year was all about Elsa exploring.
She loved the water, playing in it every day. The baby pool was shallow enough so she could walk around. She also got very good at climbing out of the pool. Every day she got to swim and that was a real treat for our water-loving baby.
Elsa also got to play on the Kub Korral play structure. She enjoyed climbing up and then flinging herself down the slide. She would laugh and laugh.
After each of the meals, Elsa would do her "rounds", walking around the dining hall and checking out all the people and then wander outside to play with plants.
Well, except when she slept through meals!
Elsa enjoyed her tent time too - getting to play in her chair and with her shoes.
and take naps.
Arne and I also had fun. We played volleyball (together!). Arne and Erik played shuffleboard.
I did tie-dye for Elsa and her cousins.
Arne even went on a lovely wildflower hike,
and took great pictures of flowers and bugs.
In the late afternoons, we would socialize with friends, like my friend Julia and her little baby.
Elsa enjoyed eating snacks, just like her daddy.
Elsa got to show off her new tie-dye dress to all her fans - mostly 3 year olds who wanted to play with her, pet her or hold her.
My mom and Arne's brother Erik were also at the Lair. They were great at taking pictures of Elsa and playing with Elsa to give us a break. My mom loved holding Elsa.
Next year maybe her cousins and the Stokstad grandparents can join in the fun!
