WE ARE STILL HERE.....

Oh, my little girl is getting SO big!!

We haven't been doin much lately...these are the first pics I have taken in 2 months!!

Here is a list of some things that we have planned for the next 2 months. October is going to be one busy month...but we are going to have tons of fun!!

• The first weekend of Oct. we are going camping. This will be Emily's first camping trip. We are going to a local campground that is only about 30 min. from the house. We are going to stay in a cabin, but we are going to do a campfire with smores and all the other fun stuff that goes with camping. This place is very kid oriented, so it should be fun.




• The county (parish if your in Louisiana) fair is the first week of Oct. as well. We haven't taken her yet, so this will also be a first. She is my little thrill seeker...the scarier the better. She can't wait to ride the rides.




• Then the annual pumpkin patch. I usually dress her up in a fall outfit and use this as an excuse to take lots of pictures. I was going through her closet the other day, and she has so many clothes!!! I have been buying fall and winter things for the last 3 or 4 months, and plus what she has from last year, and still gifts from friends and family...she has tons of clothes!! I have bought her a bunch of long sleeve t-shirts. It doesn't get all that cold here so I hope we get to wear them!!!




• The corn maize. I love to go to the corn maize. This will be another first for her. She loves mazes, and there is also alot of kiddie stuff to do there so I know she will like it.




• There is this place in BR, it is called a swamp and it is in the middle of town. It is a nature observatory type place. It has a boardwalk trail through it and they do nature educational type stuff. They are doing a weekly class (2 hours 1 day a week) for the month of Oct. and I am going to take her to that. This is another thing that I couldn't wait for her to get big enough to do.




• The zoo. We still have not been to the zoo yet this year. Last year we went to Boo at the Zoo...big mistake. Way too many people and the big attraction was candy. It doesn't start cooling off here until the end of Oct. and July - Sept. are our hottest and humidest months. I feel so bad that I haven't done that much with her since the middle of July, but it has been so hot.




• Fall Festival. We aren't going to do "tr*ck or tre*at" with her and our church always does a big fall festival, so that will be our alternative.
