Ellen's First Outdoor Adventure!

Ellen just arrived to here to live with my other dolls at Christmas, so she hasn't had any chance to visit our backyard yet, due to all of the rain and snow we've had. Today, however, we had a little time to go out together!

First we went to the front porch to check on our flower boxes.

Ellen used Kit's watering can to water a few of the pansies.

Ellen loved seeing all the lovely pansies!

Then we went to the backyard. "Wow! It's beautiful out here!" Ellen said.

We went up to our playset and Ellen swung on the rings.

Back in the woods, Ellen found a daffodil! "It really is spring!" she said.

Then, Ellen climbed the ladder to the tree house. This was her first visit to it ever!

Ellen took in the sights. (Yes, I realize our table is broken, it needs serious repair)

Then she discovered the pulley.

Ellen had to be very careful. One step back would send her flying at least 12 feet down!

Ellen's favorite spot in the whole tree house was the window.

Suddenly, it looked like rain, so to keep Ellen from getting wet, we ran inside.

Ellen checked on the herbs we are growing inside, just to make sure they had enough water.

Not long after, it started to rainshower! We had perfect timing.

Even though we didn't spend much time outside, Ellen loved her first outdoor adventure! More outdoor adventures to come soon!
