Cousin Fun

The Fab Five

Taking a Dip

Emma's four cousins came in from Massachusetts yesterday. Today, Kevin and our Brother in law took the three older ones tubing down the Delaware and my sister, Kimberly and I took the two younger ones to Friendly's for lunch and then the park. It was a fun day. Tomorrow, we are hitting Sesame early and will probably stay most of the day. Here are a few pictures from the last two days.

A Surprise for Emma

It was such a beautiful day on Wednesday that I had to play a little hookie and pickup my little girl. She was so excited when I showed up at Grammie's. I had her Elmo sandles in my hand and all I could hear through the open windows was "I'm going to Sesame, Mommie's here".

I should've hidden them. I spoiled the surprise.

We had a great time. It was a little crowded but, it doesn't matter if we've been there for the first time or the 100th time, it's all still exciting for Emma and even more for me when I see the joy in her face.

Emma's cousins and Aunt and Uncle are coming in from Massachusetts tomorrow. I'm sure that we'll end up at Sesame at least once over the next few days. I'll update with more pictures as the week goes on. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!!

The Lake Sleepover

This past weekend, we went to The Lake for my niece's 12th Birthday. My cousin and her family have had a lot there for the past few years. Emma has been dying to "camp out". I think she got the crazy idea from the Little Einsteins or Backyardigans.

She wanted to do it all. Fish, swim, toast marshmallows and sleep in the tent. Mommy wasn't too crazy about that but I was all for it because of her. Emma loved it all and I think she is definitely the outdoorsy type. Here are a few pictures from the day. I didn't get any pictures of her making S'mores because my battery ran out but did get some other nice shots from the day. I'll also try to post a little video of her swimming.

Happy 12th Birthday Chelsea

The BIG catch of the day. This is where we really needed Daddy, to get the fish off the line. He was away golfing for the weekend. I was able to safely remove the hook from the fish and send him back home but, not before Emma insisted on giving him a kiss goodbye!!

Our sleeping quarters. This was actually the next morning but because my camera was not working the night before, I asked Emma to lay down and pretend that she was sleeping so I could take a picture and she did. What a trooper. And if you're thinking that it was comfy cozy with all the blankets and pillows, think again. The next time we do this, I will invest in some sort of air mattress.

We really had a great time. We will definitely campout again when Daddy is around. Emma had so much fun as she always does with her cousins. I just wish that we had remembered that Jen and her family were just on the other side of the Lake, I would have loved to see Jen tube!!!

Girlfriends!!

Emma had company for the day on Saturday and boy did they have fun. They played in the playroom, swam in the pool and ended their playdate with a watermelon. And when I say a watermelon the two of them finished the whole watermelon in one sitting. When Kevin and I were going through our infertility treatments, we met a wonderful couple from Levittown. A friendship that I hope will last a lifetime. Their result of the treatments, Miss Olivia and our result of the treatments, Miss Emma.
