Finally, Some Nice Weather

Well, it finally got below 100 in St. Louis this week so we were able to do some fun stuff outside and had a gorgeous weekend at the lake. It is hard to believe that Labor Day is right around the corner. Where has the summer gone?

Emily trying out her new lounge chair. Grammy brought this belated birthday gift with her and Emily loves it...well, she sits in it as much as any two year old sits anywhere.

Roaming around at the lake. Emily's new favorite pasttime is throwing rocks in the water and watching them splash. If she gets a big splash she'll say "nice one".

"Driving" the car to BeBe's house. There is nothing illegal about this is there?

"Driving" the golf cart. Emily requested a golf cart ride this morning so we went exploring for a little while. She is a pretty good driver of all sorts of vehicles (boats, jet skis, cars, etc.) but she doesn't always do a great job of keeping her eyes on the road! :)

We Survived the Heat

Well, the last couple of weeks have been miserably hot here in St. Louis but we have survived. It was a little tough finding indoor activities to keep a 2 year old entertained but we managed. Luckily, we have a few beautiful days to look forward to.

A serious nap on the couch.

Looking so grown up!

Not Much New in the Zoo

Well, there isn't much new to report. We have a new camera after our last one met an untimely death when we went through a rogue wave on the boat. Our video camera also didn't survive so we'll get to see if that extended warranty was worth the money. We had a nice weekend at the lake with BeBe babysitting twice so Mommy and Daddy could get away. What a treat! Now the heat is really setting in so we will be hiding inside.

Emily on her daily jet ski ride. She loves the ski!

Returning from her ride. Apparently a good ride wears a girl out because she is sound asleep!
