Emmerson’s Journey

You be the judge?! Wonder where I learned THIS (DADDY!).

We were in Ohio less than 5 minutes and we were digging for worms!

I helped collect some pine cones!

We opted for an afternoon of fun in the garage and yard. We made lots of art projects. I had just fiished painting and Mommy went to wash off the brush in the sink. I grabbd the glue and it would not come out so twisted the top and nothing. Then I twisted harder and the glue came out. I put the glue on my project. Mommy was SO proud of me!

After our arts we played some croquette in the yard. I think I am getting the hang of hitting the ball now!

Today we went to the Easter Hunt at the YMCA. I was really “out of it” for most of the day. I wanted to be in someone’s arms the entire time. When I saw Grandma and Grandpa I calmed down and was willing to be on the ground. At least until they said GO!

Pouting a bit because I didn’t want Mommy to take my photo.

I absolutely panicked once my foot hit the grass. Daddy to the rescue and he figured it out quickly. I did NOT like the wet grass… I could feel it through my shoes… HONEST! So Daddy held me upside down and then I was willing to pick up a few eggs.

I got a few eggs. We had to open them all up and see if we got a prize slip, NOPE!

But I had a fun time opening the eggs. Some were really hard!!

Hopefully I am more revved up for the Safety Harbor Egg Hunts in a week or so!

Last night was so pretty out that we decided to go to the neighborhood park and ride bikes on the basketball court! I am really doing well learning to peddle. I still get frustrated when my feet fly off the peddles and then I just scoot around.

But at least I am having a LOT of fun!

When I got tired of scooting I opted for the push and run approach. I can even steer!

I avoided a few collisions with brother and even managed to drive my tricycle over myself once… don’t ask! It was a bad moment! No boo-boos though so all was fine!

This morning we drove hour to Plant City (technically Dover) for some hydroponic/organic strawberry picking. We came last year and had such a fun time. Mommy scooped things out in advance and thought today would be the perfect day, and it WAS!

I had a fun time picking. I would jump up and down when I found a red berry. Mommy wouldn’t let me pick the white ones.

Okay Mom enough photos of my berries. Just for that I will refuse to walk the rest of the trip and you will have to carry me! HAHAHAHA!

OKay, I will walk again as Long as I have this groovy green basket to carry around!

Having so much fun. And I only ate THREE!

I caught up with Daddy eventually and hooked him into carrying me for a while.

I highly recommend Parke Hydro Farms for u-pick berries. Best days are Tuesday as they are closed on Sunday and Monday so the berries are abundant. We got there at 9:15 and were the 2nd group there of the day. By the time we left there were about 30 people picking! So the early bird gets the red ripe berries!

After a long weekend of double ear infections, bronchitis, cutting molars and then coming down with rotavirus (likely picked up from the doctors office) we are all feeling better, knock on wood!

Today we went to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary with some other home schoolers. I stayed in Mommy’s arms the entire time as I was completely TERRIFIED of the birds.

We waited out front for the others to get there.

Mommy didn’t like us by the road for long so we waited by the front gate and watched the sneaky birds try to get into the room the food was stored in.

After the birds we played on the beach for a while.

I had a lot of fun digging in the sand.

Mommy got us changed and we headed home while we ate our lunch in the car. When we got home we played in the front yard for a while and watered plants with the squirt bottles.

The frong needed water too!

How about you Mommy??

Busted for squirting Mommy! Oh well, t was worth it!
