The Emma Report

A few weekends ago we went camping at Association Island near Henderson Harbor, New York. We had a fantastic time on a waterfront site, although the water (Lake Ontario) was pretty cold. We woke up the first morning to see more than a dozen geese just outside our trailer.

Emma and Big Sister sit down…at the same time!

Rocks anyone?

No beach on your campsite? No problem! A bin from Loblaws half-full of water will keep them entertained for hours!

… and hours!

What? A popsicle moustache?

Yum!

Really, there’s a balance beam here somewhere…I know it!

Hey, dad, can you put one of *those* in my bucket?

Emma and Michaela discuss the finer points of a blade of grass. (If you can’t get them to both look at the camera at the same time, looking at each other works!)

Emma’s one-handed swing is unconventional, but don’t get your toes too close!

Lately there has been a fascination with daddy’s shoes…

Sorry folks, we’ve been busy and neglected to post for a while — photos soon, promise!

Emma’s vocabulary has been expanding rapidly, and she recently determined that she is no longer a baby. Apparently she is a “Big Girl” now. Just ask, she’ll tell you. Repeatedly.

This morning she walked up and proudly announced, “Big Girl Tooted!”
