Playing at the Park

Ward Trunk or Treat

As soon as we got back from Black Island farms we got Emery changed into her little Tink costume and headed to the ward Trunk or Treat. 

She liked playing Peek-a-Boo with her wings :)

It didn't take long before she had this whole Trick or Treating thing down. She figured out if she went up to people they put candy in her bag. She was SO happy. She would then turn around to Jake who was holding her bag and take the candy out and try to eat it. 

This picture on the left cracks me up. She has her "oooohhhh" face on. haha.

This Tootsie Roll was the highlight of her night. She screamed at the top of her lungs when I finally took and took the wrapper off because I didn't want her to eat it. She was so happy. She only got 3 pieces of candy (which is plenty) and boy was she a happy happy girl!

After she finished her Tootsie Roll she took her bag from Jake and sat down and tried to find more candy to eat. We decided it was time to go home and distract her from the candy. 

And I ate her Kit Kat and left the Licorice for Jake to eat. 

It's nice she is still at an age that she doesn't really understand candy or remember that she had candy that we stole :)

She sure is a cute little Tinkerbell though!

Black Island Farms

Yesterday we took Emery to Black Island Farms in Syracuse. We have been so excited to take her but wanted to wait until Matt got here to go. She had so much fun! I am so glad we took her and can't wait to go again next year!

First stop: Where else but the animals? 

Next we rode the tire swings. One was a bull and one was a shark. Emery had fun riding with Dad, Uncle Matt, and all by herself!

Next we went to the slides. Uncle Matt taught Emery how to climb the rope. She tried to climb it but only got up about 1 rung...haha. She's not quite strong enough yet. But she got up eventually. 

She loved the slides! I don't know how many times she went down this slide, but she went down as many times as she possibly could with any one who would take her down. 

Next we went to the BIG slide. 

She was NOT happy. It was so high I think she got so scared. 

But as soon as she went down, she loved it. We only did this slide twice because she got a little too scared at the top...haha. 

We didn't even bother taking her down this slide. She hates being in enclosed areas. She gets scared the tube slides at the park, haha! But Matt and Jake had fun on it, and she had fun cheering for them at the bottom. 

After all the slides and playing we went and did the tractor ride. 

Corn pit. We may have spent more time in here than we even did on the slides. When we got home and got her in the pajamas she had corn kernels in her diaper. haha. She had so much fun throwing the corn and getting it thrown at her!

Then we tried out the corn maze. We didn't make it very far before giving up. Emery was so tired by this time. It was about 2 hours past her nap time and she kept rubbing her eyes. She was happy, but very tired. She wanted to be carried but she is so heavy now that the easiest thing to do is put her on your shoulders. But when she is on your shoulders for some reason, who knows why, she wants to give you lots of kisses. She will keep leaning down and giving kisses. It's pretty sweet. 

More kisses :)

Overall we were please with Black Island Farms. Emery had fun and that's what mattered! Can't wait until next year!

Meeting Uncle Matt

Emery finally got to meet her Uncle Matt! He is in the Army and has been in Afghanistan, but he got home and little over a month ago and finally got some leave this week and flew out to come visit us and meet Miss Emery! Emery was really excited. 

We got to the airport and waited in the car until his plane landed and then went to the pick up place to get him. And waited. 

And waited. 

And waited. 

And waited. The picture on the right cracks me up. She looks like she is so bored and done waiting. At this point it has been about 45 minutes. Matt's bag got sent to Boston! So we just had to wait until they could get that figured out and make sure we could get his bag sent to our house!

Yay! He made it!

Emery was pretty excited. We packed up the car and headed back to Morgan. My mom had a yummy dinner waiting for us! And a fun week ahead!

Lots more to come :)
