Name Change!

So, My mother and I did not realize that my name of the website had been used before with someone called Debbie in Dallas, TX.  Both my mother and I were not born yet so we apologize to everyone knows what we are talking about.  We are officially changing it to Stella Tours Charlottesville!! So I apologize for any confusion and I hope you all get a good laugh as well! Be back later with some fun adventures I have been having and some new toys!

Peach Picking at Carter mountain!

This has been a fun filled weekend! My mom played a lot of tennis at ACAC so I got to play at the pool and with Dad. Even though it was hot during the day we went up to Carter Mountain to get some peaches. Now, we opted to not pick because I think Dad got a little overwhelmed, but I had so much fun running around the market. Dad let me pick out some already picked peaches and plums. And best of all we ate some peach donuts together! All I can say is YUMMY! I had such a great time with Dad and this is a great activity for the whole family or when family comes into town! I cannot wait until Apple season!

My new favorite book!

Wow! It is a hot one out there today! Mom and I went to the ACAC pool this morning after the gym and by 1230 we were ready to go home!Since it is Friday and it is hot, we decided to stop at Ben and Jerry's to cool off with some great ice cream!
Well I am writing to tell you all about my new favorite book that I got at Barnes and Noble in Barracks road. It is called Colors and it is a DK Flaptastic book. I cannot get enough of it. My mom bought it for me to help me learn my colors. I like to say that everything is yellow or green but I guess that is not correct. Well this book helps so much and is fun. It has the primary colors divided and a couple of things with each color to help identify. I hate when books overwhelm you with to much information. DK did an excellent job on this book and I am really starting to distinguish the different colors! I hope you all like it as well!

Cooking Class Fun!

Wednesday mornings are so much fun!  First my mother and I go to the gym, where I get to play in the Kid Zone while she works out.  The people are great there and I have so many friends to play with! After the gym we go to Whole Foods for a children's cooking class with Jenny.   Today was Octopus day! First we read a story about the deep blue sea and octopuses.  The book was full of fish, squid, whales, sharks, and of course octopuses!  After the story Jenny explains what we are making. Everything we make is out of organic food and we get to eat it!  So fun.
Now it is our turn.  First I got to ice a meringue with orange colored icing.  And then we used fruit sticks as the legs.
Other candy is used as the suctions cups that are on Octopuses legs. Jenny offered us stars and other shapes to us as fishes and sea animals that got suctioned to the legs. Do not worry they can get free if need be. Here is a picture of my octopus!
Now I get to sit back and enjoy my creation! What a fun morning!

What a rainy afternoon!

I am enjoying this rainy afternoon at Cville Coffee. They have warm chocolate chunk cookies that are fresh out of the oven. Mom let me have have a taste and they are quite yummy! I love coming to this place. As soon as I walk in I run right to the kids section and today, there were a couple of other kids my age to play with. If your in the neighborhood you should definitely stop by!

World Cup Finals!

Since I am only 20 months it is very hard for me to sit still and watch a full game but I tried my best! My parents and I went to McGrady's Irish Pub. It was packed! The great thing about McGrady's is that it is very family friendly. I was cheering for Spain and boy that was a long game. But the crowd was great and I did lots of clapping.
After the first half my mother and I snuck away and went to Barracks where we got some ice cream at Ben and Jerry's and then window shopped at the stores. It was great. I needed to stretch my legs and run a bit. We made it back for overtime and I am so happy we did. My good friend Callum had just arrived as well so I had someone to play with. Then Spain finally made that fantastic goal and the crowd in McGrady's was crazy!! We all laughed and cheered!! It was such a fun afternoon but I was ready to go home and relax after that.
