A Late Weekend Update

This is a little late, but I wanted to share some cute pictures from last weekend. Friday evening, we decided to bum around the mall and take Emma on her first carousel ride. I'd forgotten that at the particular mall we were going to they also have an outdoor fountain designed specifically for kids to play in. We didn't bring her swimming suit, but decided to go ahead and let her play anyway. She loved it - more than the carousel ride, I think. It was a relaxing time after a busy, work filled week.


I think Emma's horse is more excited about the ride than she is. :) She's used to the real deal when it comes to horses, back at Grandpa and Grandma's.


Here's a quick video:

Our Labor Day Weekend!

We went to Franklin, NC for Labor Day weekend - camping! It has been way too long since we've gone and we had a great time! We have some friends with land right along the river. They graciously allowed us to camp there with some friends. When I say along the river, I mean right along the river. I had to watch Emma like a hawk, so that she didn't fall right in.

Emma spent a good amount of time guarding her little chair from the other kids. She doesn't want a thing to do with it at home, but for some reason she was glued to it all weekend.

Here are some pictures of us out on the kayaks. They were so much fun! Emma loved being out on the water and the boats didn't scare her a bit.
