Fun In The Sun!

Today was a lot of fun- in the HOT sun. But I think these are the best days! Emma plays her heart out all day and is so hungry for dinner she eats everything on her plate. She has so much fun playing and I really enjoy watching her and playing with her. I'd add that she naps & goes to bed for the night so easily, but she usually does anyways, so I can't really complain!

Today she went to the gym with Felix and had fun at the daycare while I stayed home this morning cleaning the house, washing the baby's clothes, and preparing our beach bag. When she got home we headed out to go meet up with some of our friends at the lake/pond that is right around the corner from our house. SO CONVENIENT!


I was amazed at how much the kids wanted to play in the water- it was so hard to get them out of there! When we first arrived Emma took right to the sand and started playing in her "sandbox". Shortly after, she followed the rest of her buddies right into the water, and she had a blast. She went all the way in and was floating on her belly (with her hands on the sand below the water), pretending to swim, splashing all around, and of course- picking up clumps of sand and throwing it in the water. The water was actually warm too! What an amazing way to spend the morning.


After about 2 hours, my big pregnant belly had enough of the heat and my turkey sandwich and (thanks to Emma.....sand-covered melon) just wasn't cutting it..... so we went home to meet up with Felix for a much needed nap for Emma, and some snacks for me!

Once I got some energy back, I left to get a bit of shopping done- picked up a shade umbrella for the next time we go to the pond...and ran a few other errands. I came home to find Felix mowing the lawn and Emma once again, playing in the sandbox.
So we set up her new hopscotch water mat she got from a friend as a birthday gift, and the fun began all over again!


Once Emma went to bed, Felix & I had a nice, quiet, relaxing dinner together on the deck. We talked about how lucky we are to have such an amazing little daughter and how far we have come in just 3 short years of marriage! I can't believe our 3rd anniversary is tomorrow!!!
