We wanted to go camping at some point over the holiday weekend, but the weather just wasn't cooperating with us for any overnight activities. The day time temps were pretty nice (except Sunday - down poor!!). Emma has made little paper tents for so many of her toys to sleep under. She's very anxious to go camping. She loves it as much as Eric and I do, and that definitely makes me happy.
We set up a little play house in Emma's room and let her sleep in there at night. She's too big for it anyway, but then she piles so many stuffed animals in there she leaves herself room enough to remain in a tight little ball! Whatever she wants though - it's her sleep. =)
On Monday it was so nice and warm, it finally felt like Spring (Summer actually). We decided to head to the beach. It was not very crowded while we were there either, which was nice. We knew the Lake would be too cold to go swimming, but we just hung out and played in the sand, enjoying the heat and the breeze, and watching all the boats sail by.

| Emma just felt the water and decided it was way too cold! She also didn't like some of the shells on the ground, so it was daddy to the rescue to get her back to the better sand. |

| She started doing some kind of happy dance while she walked back. |
And sometimes if you're patient, while spending time in nature like this, you'll be lucky enough to get to witness some of the natives at play...
We decided to take a walk around the park area that was immediately behind the beach. We wanted to get some pictures of Emma, and decided to take a couple "glamour" shots along with our regular ones. They are really fun, and Emma was so funny posing for them. It ended up being such a fun day! I can't wait to do it again.
