Emma Claire's 1st Trip to the Park!! 4/29/12

It was such a beautiful evening last night we decided to go to the park for a bit! We wanted to take some pictures of Emma anyway :)

We went to the park that Colton & I got engaged at! It's been our favorite park ever since then :)

She makes this face a lot these days. It's so cute!!

She claps a lot these days too!

There's the face again

And again

And yet again

More clapping

Emma's first time swinging!!

Haaaayyyyyy!!! Hahahah

Daddy pushing her

Here's the video clip of her swinging for the first time:

Next Colton took Emma down the slides! We had her pose at the bottom of this one :)

Here's the video of her going down the slides for the first time. Notice we had quite an entourage of kids following us around...not sure if it was the video camera or the baby they liked :)

Playing on the see-saw

"Daddy don't let go!!!"

Then we had her pose in the exact spot that Colton proposed!

He had a huge bouquet of flowers and a stuffed dog with the ring around it's neck (illuminated by a flashlight) sitting in the exact spot Emma is sitting in! :) Hard to believe it's been over 3 years since that night he proposed, and that our little bundle of joy is now sitting in that spot!

Here's some cool pics of the storm that was blowing in. Colton is very proud :) (He was our photographer for the evening)

Posing on some benches

Walking back to the car so we could drive around to the other side and feed the ducks & geese! Riding on Daddy's shoulders is Emma's favorite way to travel :)

She was getting a bit sleepy, so she decided to lean down on Daddy's head & rest a bit.

Here's the video of us feeding the geese. It's not that great, I was trying to hold Emma & the video camera, keep Emma from grabbing the video camera, and dodge the geese all at the same time :)

We had to leave earlier than planned because the wind really picked up and the storm looked like it was about to hit any minute. We had a huge storm last night, with ping pong ball sized hail, tons of lightning & thunder, very high winds, and funnel clouds right over our house! We were glued to a local weather station on the TV the rest of the evening...the weather guy said that we dodged a bullet on that storm, since none of the funnel clouds actually touched down!! It was pretty scary! AND, my pretty flowers we just planted a couple of weeks ago were totally smashed & broken from the winds & hail, some even have their roots sticking out! I'm not sure any of them are going to survive :( But we did get a TON of rain, & that was much needed!

Have a great week everyone! :)
