The Patterson's

All the big kids rode the bikes down from the condo on our last day, while all of our luggage had to be pulled by the horses. The Grandmas and Emma rode the carriage down. I think Emma and Grandma had a wonderful time!!! Elliott followed them down on the bike, just in case Emma changed her mind! So these are the pictures he took while riding the bike, too!

Below are the brothers and their girls, on the dock just before we left the island

Emma was so sweet on the ferry ride back to the mainland. It was freezing cold and she just snuggled in the whole way (kept me warm too!).

I know it is the middle of August, but I still have the pictures from our four days at my Dad's to post!!!! I;ll get to those this week, maybe.... We have been so busy with moving, El out of town a lot, I have been teaching full time at a camp in the boonies....

Emma is growing up so much this summer and it is so fun to watch. She has come down stairs in the morning a couple of times, having gotten dressed all by herself with a huge grin on her face - so proud! She's been taking swimming lessons and goes to gymnastics. I hope to get her in creative movement classes this fall, maybe soccer?! She loves to pretend and direct everything - "Pretend you can't get in the room, pretend you don't know who I am, pretend you don't want any of this ice cream...." And on and on and on:)

Love to all
