Photo-A-Day #2229

Today we brought Eva to her dance school for dance photos. She was all excited because it was the first time that she got to wear makeup. Allison has a ton of makeup but she didn’t have purple eye shadow, so Eva was very excited to have her very own eye shadow. She was so completely excited. She also loved being dressed up and is thrilled to be in a recital.

Eva’s Been to Africa with Ansel and Clair

Eva showing off Ansel and Clair's Adventures in Africa game.

About a week ago Eva and I got a new iPad App called Ansel and Clair’s Adventures in Africa. Instantly the app became a hit in our house. I knew that Eva would enjoy it because the App had non stop action and beautiful graphics. Eva is in the “Why” stage of childhood. Her answer to every question is pretty much always “Why”. Or rather she will ask Why does this do that or why does that mean this. She is very inquisitive.

The main character of the App is Ansel. Ansel is a Virtoosian travel photographer here to take photos of various African animals and sights. Clair is a robotic travel guide who has extensive knowledge of Earth and all the creatures and places on Earth. Together Ansel and Clair have to journey to the The Serengeti, The Sahara and The Nile. They are in search of pieces to their space cruiser Marley. As the child explores each different place they find out about animals, the weather, famous structures and more all while searching all over for pieces of the ship and taking photos of all that they see.

Here is a video about the App.
