Happy Father's Day

We were a little busy for Father's Day this year. But we still managed to have some fun. Emmy keeps growing. She loves to stand, and we are pretty sure she will be running before she crawls.

One of Emmy's first dances.Playing with Daddy

I needed to work that weekend. But Laura and Emmy came out to visit me. It was a good day to visit, work was doing an astronomy activity day. So I worked and Laura found activities to do with children. One of my diversions was to walk down to the other building, to see the activities they had there. While I was down there I stopped to see what I could see. These are some of my finds.

Summer Fun has Begun

Summer fun has started up here! We found a little grill (very little, but it fits our house, yard, ...) that cooks a good hunk of meat. Emily has gotten her very first swim suit and swimming pool. Picnics are becoming regular occurrences (we just refuse to feed the seagulls).

We broke in our grill with some kababs. Mmmmm.... they were good.

Emmy got her first swimming pool. Someday we will even put water in it for her. Until then she enjoys eating the grass.

There are lots of parks in the Tri-Cities. So in the summer that means PICNICS!!! Emmy likes the watermelon.

One of the parks up here has a little kids wading pool. So all the kids that are around come running with (and without towels) for a quick splash in the pool. Emmy is not ready to go out alone in the water, but she can play in it. Though for right now she thinks the water is a bit cold.
