Visiting the Marquises

We also spent a day with the Marquises, at there beautiful house (jealous).  Anders helped Colin order our lunch.  I decided to help pay for lunch, but knowing that Amy would fight me on it, hid the money with her plane tickets.  I sealed them up in a note and figured she would find it the next day.  Instead, Ethan somehow found them and brought them to his mom.  It took a while to explain where it came from, but lesson learned that Ethan will find anything of importance.

Ellis hung out as much as possible with Zoe and her friend (Jordan, I think is her name).  They were constructing a ferry house.  Ellis was enthralled.

Anders played with Ethan's new toy grill.

 We also played on some swings and I thought I had a lot more pictures of this but somehow they are not to be found.  Ethan really enjoyed being with Ellis, and Ellis was all too happy to have an admirer.

Anders also snookered Amy into opening every drawer in her kitchen.  He was curious and used his power of cute to get what he wanted.  It works far more often than it should.
