Whether it be in a pool or at the beach... Emily loves the water. Back on April 27th Emily had her last swim lesson with Mr. Shane - time to move on - but before we left Emily went out to see Octavio and his friend working the backyard. She LOVES to go out and say hello to them and this time she was dancing...
and comparing lawn mowers...
until the grass was free and she could run out to trim a few areas he missed.
At swim she did her usual tricks... swimming out to Mr. Shane,
cheesing for the camera,
floating on her back,
and kicking across the pool on the mat.
Soon after we got home, Dele came down to visit! Emily had saved her Easter present from Dele until she saw her... sock puppets!
They successfully made a "snake monkey" - there was quite a bit of laughter throughout since the puppets were too involved for Emily's level.
The next morning we were off to the beach!
Emily was excited to show Mimi and Dele the sand crabs...
and this time she even held them in her hand! (this beach has REALLY small sand crabs)
Emily also discovered the saltiness of ocean water and thought it funny to get a lick when the tide would come in. Sigh.
We finished up our day with a little "pic-a-nic" (Emily-ese), another Emily favorite!!!
Lovin' the pink goggles! Great pictures of Emily at the beach- that girl really has the life, huh?
ReplyDeleteThat last picture looks like Emily is actually eating a sandwich, would that that were true! She is sure thriving on her extremely limited menu items though...don't worry, be happy! (at the beach)

Looks like you got in a few more fun-filled (and sun-filled) days before baby brother Everett arrived. You sure are a water child, Emily, and I think that is just wonderful! And what better way to end a fun morning at the beach than with a pic-a-nic! Yum!
ReplyDeleteLove that she is out with her mower! Too cute. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplished little swimmer you have on your hands!! Way to go Emily! And I bet the puppet time was super fun!
