Ellory's special day- Olive Garden, Sky Zone, Washington Pavilion, and Anne Wilson!

For Norah's 10th birthday last year, we gave her an experience gift of going to Minneapolis to see one of her favorite singers, Anne Wilson. When Lucy and Ellory turned 8 last February, they were asking what their special thing would me since Norah got one, so of course we thought that would be fun too! Lucy really wanted to go to her first Vikings game, so her and Kley are headed to Minneapolis in November for that. Ellory said that she really wanted to see Anne Wilson too. I kept checking her tour schedule and didn't see anything for awhile, and then heard that she was going to be a part of Life Light Festival in Sioux Falls, only 1.5 hours from us! I'm so glad we could go and that Ellory and I could have a one on one day together. The whole day was amazing, except for a short drop in spirits when there was a rain delay and Ellory was standing in a super long food truck line feeling hungry and wet. But the rain let up and we got some food and then all was well again. We enjoyed the day together and I am so honored to be Ellory's mom!

So cool for Ellory to see Anne Wilson live!

She got a snow cone for dessert, one of her most favorite treats!

Fun at Washington Pavilion- it was special to do whatever Ellory wanted and to experience it at her pace and top choices!

Lots of jumping fun at Sky Zone!

We also had lunch at Olive Garden and I didn't get a picture of that, but we definitely enjoyed the breadsticks! Ellory has always been a huge bread lover, her whole life!

I love you Ellory and you are so special to our family!
