Sunday Funday!

Wow! What a fun Sunday Emerson had this past weekend. Aunt Jessi came over and took Emerson to the Maple Grove Community Center where he got to climb in the Maple Grove Maze and swim in the pool. He met Nana and Bumpa Hare there and Bumpa Hare embarrassed everybody by taking 100+ pictures. :) The day came to a close with a late lunch at Wulvers (Culvers).

Some of the highlights of the day:

1. Playing in the Maple Grove Maze. Emerson skipped the little boy maze and went straight for the big boy maze. He went to the highest slide and Aunt Jessi told him to wait for her but by the time she got to the top, he was gone! Daredevil Emerson.

2. Finding a spider in the family bathroom, then following it through the other stalls.

3. Finding out that one of the faucets in the bathroom wasn't working so Emerson had to check all of the other faucets to see if they were in working condition.

4. Seeing a police car and meeting the nice police man.

5. "Taking care o' business" before and after swimming like a big boy. :)

6. Eating Jessi's fries and half her hamburger before finishing off his meal at Culvers. All that playing makes a guy hungry!




Now this is the start of something fun, I can feel it!




Oh yeah!




Coooooool....




What can I buy with my monies?




Oh, here we go. An easy way to make friends too!




Hmmm. Emerson is not so sure about this policeman guy.




Playing in the water with Superaunt J.




Swimsuit model E.




Meet you at the top!




Let's keep going up...




Yikes! Now that makes Mom and Dad nervous. ;)




Telling Nana all the stories of the day over a nice animal cracker.




Until next time...

Bumpa Story

I picked up Emerson today from "school" and on the way home he saw a highway helper on the side of the road with his lights on.

E - "What's on that truck Daddy?"

D - "Those are lights so cars will see the truck when it's pulled over on the side of the road."

E - "Why Daddy?"

D - "The truck doesn't want any cars crashing into him when he's pulled over."

E - "Why Daddy?"

D - "Because then the cars will get in an accident and they won't work anymore."

E - "Bumpa will fix them."

D - "But Bumpa can't fix them all."

E - "Why Daddy?"

D - "Because he goes to work and he can't go around fixing all the cars."

E - "Oh."
