Day at the Park

Emma and I went to meet Jessica, Ella, and Aliyah at a park in Woodinville today. FINALLY it was sunny and 71 today! Emma was all get-up-and-go, wanting to climb up the slide (guess who taught her that!) so she could slide right back down it. Her favorite part though was playing in the drinking fountain - again the water calls her.

Emma was so excited to see them, she grabbed for Jessica's hand immediately so that she would take Emma up the play set (that's the first picture). It was lovely to see them as we sure do miss them. I am sure Emma just misses playing and exploring with them, and I miss the daily conversations Jess and I wouldhave, and the joy that watching Emma and Aliyah play, and watching how much Emma loves Jessica. Emma wanted to climbin Jessica's lap while she had some apple sauce and was hugging her legs. VERY heart warming!

After about an hour it was actually too hot, and the girls were getting tired, so we headed over to Jamba Juice for a cool treat. HILARIOUS!!!! Chaos ensued as Emma and ALiyah ran around the store pulling bottles of water out of baskets, grabbing bags of chips, pulling our purses around on the floor - ahhh! So we sat with the girls on our plaps, chowing down on their natural chips (of course Emma was a disaster of food everywhere while Aliyah was not!), then came the smoothies..... Oh good lord, Emma LOVED the raspberry, strawberry, blueberry drink! She had a little cup and straw and went to town - and then would spit a little out - on her too cute top!!!!! I guess that is life. Sot he shirk has been soaking since we got home:) SO, a lovely day had by all.

The bottom picture is one that El took yesterday becasue when he walked in to wake her p from her nap, there she was sleeping with her little arms tucked behind her head - too cute!

Love to all....
