Crayola Factory

While Grandma Cope was here, we decided to take a little day trip out of the city and headed over to Easton, PA to spend the day at the Crayola Factory. Which isn't really a factory, per se, but more like a giant crafting extravaganza using all of Crayola's many different products (and I didn't have to clean up!) The girls love love loved it. And Easton is a charming little town.

We also visited the Canal Boat museum a floor above the Crayola Factory where the kids were lent their own little boats to move through a canal and learn how the locks work etc. Great for hands-on learning!





On our way home, we got stuck in traffic, so we tried to get some video of a few of Ella's words. She's been getting speech therapy twice a week since January and has improved quite a bit. Sometimes Lexi says, "Let's talk, Ella!" and then says a word and waits for Ella to repeat it, then says another which Ella repeats and so on and so forth until they've gone through all the words in Ella's verbal vocabulary. We've also been teaching her sign language (thank you Baby Signing Time!) and she is able to communicate pretty well now.
