Emerson: Summer Craziness

Alright, alright...I know I haven't updated in a while, but we have just been so busy this summer. Let's see, where should I begin...

CAMPING

We went camping for Mommy's 30th birthday. There were all kinds of people there. Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Kristin, the Rios family (Jennifer, Armanda, Jacob Braden and my buddy Sophia) and Jessica and Jason. We all loaded up and headed to Chain-O-Lakes State Park. The first night was great. We had a good time watching everyone put their tents up and unload their cars. We sat around the campfire and then went to sleep. Saturday morning we got up and Mommy made pancakes and sausages over the fire...they were delicious. As it got a little later in the day, some really bad storms came through and we had to cut our trip short. Luckily, it cleared up enough later in the day so we could head to Warsaw for a cookout and bonfire. Here are a few pictures from our short trip.

This was the part of the day when it was sunny...too bad it only lasted for 30 minutes.

Me and Sophia!

As you can tell, we were really roughing it!

Daddy and Jason playing hillbilly golf.

Look at all that food...too bad we didn't get to eat most of it since the weather got so bad.

SUMMER FUN!

Besides the camping trip, we have been busy with going to the pool, celebrating Mommy's birthday and all kinds of other summer stuff. One of my favorite things is eating summer fruit. Watermelon, strawberries and blackberries are some of my favorites!

POOL TIME

Look at me trying to climb out of the pool on my own. (Ok, Ok...Mommy put me on the ladder, but look at me balancing on one foot!)

I am getting pretty good at standing, even in the water, although Mommy isn't quite so impressed when I try an stand in the bathtub.

MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY

As I said earlier, Mommy turned 30 on June 8th. I had a lot of fun helping her open her presents. Daddy got Mommy a new Coach purse and a book filled with pictures of me. I must say they were both pretty cool!
