Happy New Year!

I'm so far behind in posting.  It's pitiful.  One reason why is that we were all sick until recently.  Emi-chan was the worst off.  She had an awful cough and her nose was running constantly, but we were still able to do somethings together.

 Practicing riding the tricycle

Push faster, Papa!

Crafting

 Perfect!

 Swinging on swings

Stomping on her friends

If you look closely, you can tell her cheeks are RED.  That's because Emi-chan kept rubbing her nose and face with her shirts and refused to blow her nose in a tissue.  Another issue we have to work on.

To The Zoo

We went to Happy Hallow Zoo on Thanksgiving weekend.  This was the third time for Emi-chan and I, and the first time for Rick.  We had a good time despite it being FREEZING the whole time we were there.  It was so cold that most of the animals were either huddled around the heat lamps or hiding in their dens.  That was alright because Emi-chan spent most of her time riding the rides she didn't get to go on the past two times we went.  

 Yaaaah!!

(I'm grinning so I won't scream)

 Emi-chan's favorite ride,

 Yeah, I can handle this...

 Hey!  No!  Wait!

Get me off this crazy thing!

 Oh, Papa, stop being so silly!

Yes, Emi-chan went on the roller coaster and the lady bug rides.  She really wanted to get on.  I doubt that she'll want to be on them again any time soon.
