Invitations arrived several weeks in advance of the actual party.  They promised swimming, sun, food, fun, and best of all . . . NO PARENTS ALLOWED!!   Finally the big day came.  Aunt Ashley had everything planned and prepared for an adventure that we would never forget.  This page tells the tale of the GREAT ELLISON SLUMBER PARTY that took place on August 9,2003.  We hope you have as much fun viewing our pictures as we had taking them!
