Happy Hallow, Again

 Recently, Emi-chan and I went on a play date with one of her classmates, Little Boy M, and his Mom, M.  Another family was supposed to join us, but couldn't make it.  Emi-chan was excited to see the animals, but both she and Little Boy M spent most of their time on the rides and on the play structures.  We all had a good time and I got to chat with M and learn more about her and her family.  But, boy!  It was exhausting chasing after 2 energetic kids!

Emi-chan loved the cars!

Emi-chan is looking for guinea pigs.

The goats were very aggressive this day.

A few were knocking people over 

to get fed.

Raagh!  The Mighty Dinosaur Hunter!

The Jungle

Emi-chan and I had a play date at The Jungle with a friend from her old co-op preschool days.  I haven't seen E-san, I-chan, and Little I-kun in months so it was fun to hang out with them.  

There were a couple of firsts for Emi-chan.  One major one is that she actually spent time playing with I-chan!  It was neat to see them running around together, giggling and taking turns with the games.  Another is that Emi-chan acutally climbed into part of the maze.  Usually, she would freak out when she tried to venture into the nets and tunnels, but she braved it to keep up with I-chan.  I was very proud of her. 

Some random shots:

It's jumpy-jump time!

I got into the net,

now how do I get out?

Catching Up

It's been a L-O-N-G time since I last posted.  I was lazy (like usual) and we all were fighting one cold after another.  We're finally healthy (knock on wood).  Hopefully, we'll stay healthy for awhile.

Emi-chan's has done a lot since the last time.  She's doing very well at school and on the most part, can handle herself fine during outings (except for maybe today...).  

I'll be posting again soon.  Here are some teasers for upcoming posts:

We'll be back soon!
