Busy Summer

So the warm days are slipping away too fast for me to keep up!



Emmilene and I visited my family in June and actually missed our flight to SLC (how did that happen?). The above is what you do to entertain a one-year old at an airport for 5 hours.
(She was not listening to Hannah Montana, btw).



It was a great trip! Most of the events revolved around the two little girls, Emmilene and her cousin, Lillian, who is exactly 2 months younger.






We went to Lagoon (an amusement park) where most the rides were a little too big for little girls, but they loved the Merry-Go-Round and ice cream.







We also went to Hogle Zoo, where they have an amazing bird show with eagles and other birds of prey flying right over your head (see below).






This poor elephant below was 22 months pregnant! There are some perks to being a superior race. She carried it very well, I would have only guessed she was 11 months.



We made one more attempt at a birthday party for Em. We give up. She will have to go cakeless for the rest of her life.

She's a smart girl....if she doesn't celebrate her birthday...does that mean she never has to grow up?! LOVE the pictures...can't believe you were at the Hogle Zoo and didn't call me! I would have met you there and felt sorry for the elephant as well!
