Happy Father's Day!

Elliott, Emma, and I went to bruch at a great restaurant here in Monroe this afternoon (he had crabcake benedict, I had eggs benadict, and Emma had a smorgasboard of grapes, waffle, hashbrowns, etc, etc!). Emma just wanted to run all around the restaurant and check everything and everyone, and every baby, out! Elliott said we should have gone to Chuck E Cheese, as it was a pretty nice restaurant. Once she had the chance to check everything out she did pretty good.

After we were finished we ran home to change clothes and grab Cooper, as I had planned for us to go to an off-leash dog park. Well, it was that and so much more! It was a 40 acre dog park in the midst of a 600 acre park, about 1/2 hour from our house, with no traffic. Well, least to say that Emma was in her eliment. It was adorable to watch her chase after each and every dog (we had to be really careful and keep a very close eye on her as she wold give every single dog a kiss right one their face if we;d let her!). She would just run with her arms outstretched and reaching.

We also had a VERY hard time keeping her out of the water. She is a fish. If we didn't watch she would jump right in without a second glance. So Elliott have in of course and she was thrilled!!!!!! There were about 4 different spots where the dogs can go into the water, and so ofcouse Em had to go in too. Good thing I brought extra shorts for her....

We are going to have steaks for dinner and then off to bed, as chasing after Emma with dogs all around wore me out. By the way - Cooper was great! He stayed by us the whole time and just lolly-gagged around all the dogs.

Love to all...
