Emma's Summer Fun!

We have had a jammed-pack summer full of fun so far! Emma has experienced some new and exciting things and Cade and I have experienced the excitment of being a parent and seeing the joy on your child's face. There is nothing in the world like seeing your child fill up with such joy and happiness in new and exciting things!

We had a lot of fun during Strawberry Days- a week long celebration in Pleasant Grove with concerts, parades, rodeo, pet shows, and lots of yummy strawberries. Well, a couple of her favorite things were the "Pet show" and the carnival! She LOVED the little train and after she got off she kept saying "again! again!" Let's just say she went on her 3 favorite rides more than once each...and Cade and I had just as much fun as she did!

Walking in the Children's Parade:

Another great time we all had was going to the zoo. Cade hadn't been to the zoo for years and when I took Emma last year, she was too little to really enjoy anything. This time her favorite things were the Meercats and the gorilla and the elephants. Cade's favorite animal to see was definitely the Giraffe. (Don't let the 2nd picture of us fool you....that was the end of the day and Emma was getting very tired...she really did love the zoo :)).



This video made me SOOOO happy. I was taping Emma as she was watching her favorite meercats and I didn't notice until after it had happened why she all of a sudden decided to lie down on the nasty floor in the room....watch the meercat in the beginning of the video. So funny!



Now I didn't think anything could make Emma happier than the zoo and especially that train ride at the carnival, but the thing that topped them all were the water slides at the pool! She LOVED LOVED LOVED the water slide. She had a blast when we went to the community pool here in PG. Cade and I had to take turns walking up the stairs to take her down the slides because she didn't want to stop. She kept shouting "AGAIN! AGAIN!" everytime we went down. So much fun! And we can't wait for more fun times this summer!
