Park...zoo...and friends

I think we have been outside everyday this week because the weather has been gorgeous! Not too hot, not too cold, but just right. We have also spent a lot of time with our friends this week, which is always a bonus. We normally meet once a week, but I think we have seen them three days this week. We went to the zoo today with Emerson's friends Lauren, Finely, and Jackson. And yes, Emerson was stealing Jackson's snacks while he wasn't looking, thankfully his mommy has taught him how to share. It was very crowded, but Emerson was able to see her favorite animal...the elephant. She makes an elephant noise and everything! The park has been great too but Emerson manages to get very, very dirty. I guess it's a sign that she is having a great time. Nick and I have learned that she will walk by herself if she is carrying something. She needs the stability or else she will fall backwards or forwards. It really is amazing to watch and hopefully she will be even better next week!
