The Daily Emma: Weekend Fun

Weekend Fun

I meant to post all of this earlier, but I'm finally getting to it. We have been swimming, reading, watching shark shows, and having lots of summer fun. We went swimming with Holly (Chaplain Tangen's wife and Delilah's mom), several times this week, and Emma is learning and trying new things in the pool. We have bothy enjoyed chatting with her when she comes to check on Delilah. Saturday was cleaning day, and for once, Emma's heart just wasn't in it. I was kind of feeling like we needed to do something fun...but I'm also the mom, and our house needed cleaning. So we cleaned in the morning, and went swimming in the afternoon. She has been begging for ice cream every day at the pool, because she sees the bigger kids with ice cream cones. So we compromised and got ice cream cones and toppings from the commissary, and came home and made our own strawberry ice cream in the vitamix. YUM.

And since we needed something fun to do, today after church we went to the Studio Movie Grill and saw Cars 3. It was her first movie in a theater other than on base. I'm always nervous because she tends to get scared easy, and it was loud of course, but she is getting bigger and she did great! We stopped at Panera to hold off our hunger and eat some healthy food, went to Target for a few things and then got some chips and queso with our movie. (Side note: I resisted the temptation to go to Maurice's...I was trying to make it a fun day for Emma.) When we came home we finally remembered to check our mail, and we got a package from some friends that moved. It was such a nice surprise! I think it is safe to say we have had a good weekend.
