5 Busy Days

A full 5 days of activity since I last posted.  My camera seems to reset every 12 or 24 hours; deleting the pictures on it.  Too bad since I had fun pictures from Uncle Dan's 37th Birthday BBQ this past Saturday.  We played kickball in his backyard!

Sunday:  We celebrated Father's Day, Grandpa's Birthday and Uncle Dan's Birthday by going out to eat at a Japanese Grill - Kyodai.  Grandpa caught the broccoli!  While driving near our house:



Monday:  Rachel babysat me in the morning.  We built a train through 5 rooms in the house with EVERY (literally) container, box, stuffed animal, doll, and little plastic guy in the house.  I also started Adventure Camp and Swim Lessons!



Note from Mom:  Approximately 2 months ago, I asked Emmie what she wanted to be when she grew up.....if she could have any job in the World.  After much deliberation, discussion about following a passion, making a living, etc, Emmie informed me that she wanted to be a Safari Adventurer.  This came as a surprise to me as she hadn't spoke of doing that before, nor had I ever planted the idea.  I didn't know she knew what a Safari was.  :)

Tuesday:  I spent the morning with Ame and Shishir, and the afternoon with Coe Tennis Camp.  While swimming with camp, I dropped my goggles in the water and called Malcolm (8 years old) over to help me retrieve them.  As he dove underwater, I turned to my Mom with a sheepish grin and big eyes, "I dropped them on purpose because I wanted to be with him."  
(Mom was caught off guard, chuckled and realized it was going to be a LONG 12+ years ahead)
Jeremiah returned to the house with us to sleepover.  He and I left camp happy, and hungry:


My Halloween costume arrived from Amazon; a safari vest and straw hat.  I spent the rest of the day dressed as a Safari Adventurer - vest (binoculars, compass and flashlight attached), hat, hiking shoes, zip-off hiking pants/shorts and a t-shirt from TX that Eric gave me.  Picture of my outfit coming soon.  Jeremiah and I had to spend hours cleaning up the train built earlier in the week.  Later that night, we watched The Mighty Ducks.  I liked Goldberg, and Charlie (OUR Charlie, AND the one in the movie).

Wednesday:  Another swim lesson!  And a drive to Chicago to spend the rest of the week/weekend with Grannie Jannie, Grandpa Bob and Daddy!
