Emma's Summer Vacation ~

As soon as school lets out and summer vacation begins, Emma is on the go NONSTOP! She is very fortunate to have the grandparents, aunts and uncles that she has! She gets to go to Birmingham and spend a week or so with Mimi and Pop. That usually means trips to the McWain Center, the zoo, the nail salon (she and mimi always have to get their nails done) and hanging out in the shop helping Pop do some work! She spent a week with Noni and Justin, also. They went to the park, painted on canvas, and she got to go to work with Noni where she learned a little sign language and made tye-dye shirts with some of the deaf students! The pictures posted are from her beach trip with Nana and Poppy. Emma LOVES the beach and was so excited about getting to go! While they were there they went to Gulf World to see the dolphins. Emma got to pet one and shake it's hand! (I have a picture of it but our scanner isn't working so I can't post it.) Needless to say, she had a great time! Emma (and Jeb and myself) is so blessed to have so many people who love her and want to spend so much time with her! With Jeb starting rotations and all of the other stuff going on, we haven't been able to do as many things this summer as we usually do. But thanks to our families, Emma never knows the difference or feels deprived of anything. She's a very lucky girl! School starts back in 5 weeks, but Emma's summer isn't over yet! She's flying to Dallas with my mom in a couple of weeks to visit Lolo, Branny, Ava and Cakes! She loves visiting Lolo because she always has crafts for them to do (Emma calls her the "craf lady) and she always takes her to Libby Lu. I'm sure there will be an "Emma's Summer Vacation: Part 2" soon to come!!
