Of course there were some "chores" to do...
towers to build...
and birds to watch.
Emily was really into the whole "bird" idea in general.
She also LOVED the fact that her binky and lovey were kept on my bed when she was awake so at any time she could go in, climb up, and have a little "binky time."
She took FULL advantage.
Then, on Monday night Emily requested to eat her dinner alfresco. Doesn't alfresco sound cool (temp wise) to you? Well, it wasn't.
It was 92 degrees and about 90% humidity. Mimi and I were melting but Emily was happy...
and chose to stay outside even after dinner. Sigh
Soon we knew why it was so humid...
and within 20 minutes of dinner the temp dropped 20 degrees and it started to thunder, rain and even hail! 
Emily wasn't so thrilled at first...
but REALLY warmed up to the idea before too long.
Papa came home right as the storm was calming down and they had a little drizzly swim together.
On Tuesday we were headed home again - too sad to think about how long it will be until we are back. Emily had so much fun!Here are two videos from our time there...
First, Emily was really starting to "swim" - jumping in and going under again and again.
Second, Emily (and a freezing Mama) in the rain.
Aww what fun and bittersweet times! Makes me sad for you to think about, so I will try not to. Glad everyone had such a fun time with lots of rain and birds.

Glad she didn't hurt her elbow on THAT spill! Glad we didn't know then that that was possible! More fun to run in the rain than worry about dislocated elbows, huh Emily! It sure was a fun visit topped off by sudden "severe weather"! Gotta love Texas!!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures- I especially love the running in the rain photo that had been the header pic.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to get a trip in before the big move - and I agree - too sad to think about! :( So I am just not thinking about it!! Looks like a great visit!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the videos!! I felt like I was there too! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, especially running in the rain. I am sad about this being your last trip to Mimi and Papa's for a while, too. So many wonderful memories were had there! Now on to the BIG move...
