Preparing for the 4th

We were too excited to wait for fireworks so we drew our own on the patio. This was an ongoing project that lasted a few nights of adding more fireworks and finishing touches. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a new tradition.

We met up with the Nickells to buy fireworks together.

It was rather hot outside buying the fireworks so we decided it would be a good idea to get some frozen yogurt. Emery brought her ponies along.

We thought we should see what Emery thought of sparklers so she'd be prepared to do them on the 4th. At first she wasn't too sure but after a couple that Mommy and Daddy held she was ready to try one herself. She loved it.

The Beach

Jonah took some time off work for our 6th anniversary at the end of May. We spent one of the days at the beach. This was Emery's first time actually getting to experience the beach. At first she wasn't too sure, she thought it was too cold and dirty.

We put her sweatshirt on and got her playing in the warm sand.

Then we got her down by the water and she enjoyed the foam.

Jonah finally coaxed her into the water...

And she loved it! The water was so cold and she was shivering but wouldn't get out because she was having so much fun running into the waves. She was soaked and fell down a couple times but she didn't care.
