My Fair Lady

The weather finally improved in time for us to catch the last day of the state fair. Corn dogs, chili fries and fried Oreos - what's not to love about a fair? Here are a couple of pictures:

Here's Emmie scoping out the midway games... Daddy had to withstand countless hecklers begging him to "Win one for the little one!"

Here's a shot of Emmie rethinking her decision to go on the crazy dragon roller coaster.

Finally, we determined that Emmie liked the super slide, so she got to go on that a bunch of times. Watch the fun below!

Gamer Chick

We took Emmie last weekend to GenCon, the biggest gaming convention in the world. They have it every year in Indy, so we thought we should check it out. Here are a couple of pictures:

Daddy recognized this statue right away from the old Magic the Gathering days...

Mommy unfortunately knew what it was too...(but she blames it on Daddy!)

Emmie wanted the sword...(to munch on)

At first Emmie was a little unsure as to what was going on, what with all the people wearing costumes and carrying lightsabers, but after a little bit she fit right in... Here's a picture of her tweeting her friends after winning a Yu-Gi-Oh! competition:

Gymboree

I haven't posted any pictures or movies of Emmie at Gymboree in awhile, so here you go...

I may look like she is trying to share, but she was actually pulling the air shapes out of his mouth.

Bubbles!!!!

Emmie dancing to the Gymbo song!! Actually she is just stumbling around, but it is cute anyways.

Smiley Baby

Not sure why Emmie was so happy, but she just couldn't stop smiling.

Show me your moves!

Now the weather's not quite so beautiful, so Emmie has had to practice walking inside. She loves stumbling around to the music, as you can see below:

Of course, Emmie's dancing encouraged Daddy to dance, which got the following reaction:

Apparently the Funky Chicken isn't so cool anymore...

Backyard BBQ

The weather has been beautiful, so we decided to have a backyard BBQ today. We let Emmie loose in the backyard and she had a great time playing with her ball and even more fun when daddy would run at her and jump over her. Here are some pictures of the day.

Waiting patiently for daddy to finish the BBQ...what to do?

Come get the ball Daddy!!

AHHHH!!!! Daddy is going to land on me!

Phew!!! that was a close call, but I'm alright.
