Memorable Memorial Weekend

On Sunday we were off to Nana and Grandpa's new house so Daddy could golf and Emily could play too!  First was the kiddie pool... 

which she thought was the BEST.  She did really love the big pool too though!  She jumped in off the edge and really liked when I threw her up in the air - so we did it over and over again - my arms did not thank me.When Daddy and Grandpa were home from golfing and it was apparent that Emily was too pumped to nap in a strange place we headed off for the park.  Emily even got to ride there in "Grandpa's Special Car."

Once at the park it was confirmed that the equipment was entirely TOO hot to touch so everyone had to work together to keep Emily having fun without touching anything.

They say it takes a village.

But my favorite had to be the towel positioning on the slide...

Emily had her own magic carpet ride...

and luckily I had a long dress.

After PLENTY of time in the heat it was finally time to head home via golf cart...

and play in the hose.  

Payback...

and FUN!

As you can see, we chose not to put on her bathing suit or a swim diaper.

Regular diaper plus water doesn't usually end well.

Finally cool again, Emily was back inside playing with the trains...

sporting her first real pony tail.

Then it was time to leave again for dinner at the neighborhood Memorial Day festival...

where Emily was excited to go on the inflatables.  I was sure she would love the obstacle course and slide.  It DID start out well...

but by the end it wasn't such a big hit anymore.

Good thing the bounce house was fun!

We were glad to end our day at a different park that was shaded!!  Emily had fun on this random bridge slide thing... 

and found that it was nice and noisy when you jump on it.

But, poor Emily never did stop longing for another dip in the pool.

Whew... what a day!
