The last couple of weeks have been HOT here in AZ. It makes entertaining Emma a little difficult since all she wants to do is be outside. Luckily we have a nice extended dusk period where we can go on a bike ride or play around for a while. A couple of days ago we took Emma out back to play around in the sprinkler. She is really getting warmed up to playing in the water.
Another fascination that she's picked up on is gum. The girls across the street must have taught her about it because it's all she talks about. We give her little pieces here and there to appease her. While she was outside, Jill was trying to show her how to blow a bubble. She was making cute monkey faces as she tried her hardest to do it too.
Today we went to a birthday party at a bounce party place. Emma has never been in a bounce house, so she was a little unsure at first. Once she got her footing, she started to warm up. Here's a few images from the day.
Jill is watching some of Emma's cousins during the summer. Emma is loving the fact that she has some playmates around. Here's a frame of them playing with bubbles in the sink yesterday.
For the Fourth of July we took a trip to California to hang out with our friends Eric and Karen. They have a party every year for the Fourth and we were finally able to make it out this year. Emma was in love with all the animals that they have around their ranch. She managed to wear herself out every day that we were there because she was running around so darn much. Unfortunately for us, that meant that she was in bed by 7 on the night of fireworks, so I didn't get to take any pictures like I was hoping to. All in all it was a great time, but it will be a while before we take a five hour car ride with Emma again.
