Mega Summer Trip 2016!!!! - Part 1

Summer time means "Fun Family Trip" time, so we all loaded up into the car for a super long sweet road trip!!! Follow along as we toured the countryside to some fun destinations ...

Avery buckled-up for the road trip ... check!

Emery buckled-up for the road trip ... check!

 
Emery and Avery both needing a potty break 
before even hitting the highway out of town ... check!

Oops, Daddy was in such a rush that he forgot to get gas and 
we almost ran out in the middle of nowhere .... but,
 we found a gas station with 11 miles in the tank to spare!!!!

First things first, let's get to a super sandy beach ...

... but lounging on the sand gets too boring after awhile so ...

... "Do you want to build a sand castle?" or ...

... "Have super fun playing in the gnarly waves??!!?!?"

Those super cool huge tasty waves totally won ...

... where they just kept luring us
farther and farther out until ...

... Daddy had to come be our rock to hold on 
to as we battled each and every wave!!!

But Daddy loves the waves too ... in fact, last time
we were here Daddy did a Triathlon!

Next up was tons and tons of family time along with meeting
our newest cutest cousin Riley, Danielle's new baby ...
Avery was even in Danielle's wedding way back when, 
years and years ago! 

We had tons of fun with our goofy cousin Travis ...

... Uncle Rick, and as usual all the
tons and tons of Labradors everywhere!!!

They were in the pool swimming over us ...

... or back and forth swimming between all of us, 
it was crazy!!!

Our "kid aged" cousin Brienne was there too ...

... as was Grandma Wendy, Grandpa Charlie, 
and everyone else!!!

We had so much fun with our cousin Brienne that
she invited us over for lunch and more swim-time the very next day ...

"Here we go, follow me everyone ..."

" ... Cowabunga ..."

" ... Geronimo ..."

" ... Cannon-Ball!!!"

Then we were off to the second phase of our mega-trip ... Disneyland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our hotel was so close to the magical kingdom
 that we could watch the fireworks the night before!!!

After a quick "Breakfast of Champions" in our hotel room ...

... we were off to explore the one and 
only magical kingdom!!!!

See all the pictures from our Disneyland trip in the next blog posting ...

Who can do it better ...

Every now and then, we sisters like to have a little contest as to who can do something better. Today's contest is "Who can eat ice cream the best!" Watch our skills and you decide...

 Emery starts off with a tender smile ...

 ... that quickly turns into a goofy grin ...

 ... and then she dives right in ...

... and ta-da, a very messy Emery!!!

In comparison, Avery starts off 
with a tiny baby taste on the tongue ...

... and then realizes she 
didn't like the flavor!

 And it's all fun and games of course 
until someone has to go to
 the dentist with a cavity!!!

Typical Summer Day In The Life Of Emery ...

This is how Emery sleeps during the summertime, 
usually well past 8am!!!

And this is how Emery plays, 
or rather "horses around"!!!
Below is a video of lots and lots of horsing around ...



And this is how Emery watches educational videos 
... ha ha, just kidding, it's cartoons!

And this is what Emery's day looks 
like after leaving the house ...
first up is gym jamboree time ...

... on the super high bars ...

... then off to the rings and the trapeze
 ... look at those flexed muscles!!!

There is a little bit of school time (not much, just a little bit) ...

... and then off to lunchtime 
... pizza every day!

Then a long nap occurs almost anywhere, 
especially after eating all that pizza!!!

Then there is usually some cool party going on ...

... with super fun slides ...

... and super long slides ...

... where sometimes even Daddy joins in too!

Mid-summer days parties are the best!!!

Playing in Avery's room can be super fun too, 
such as in the video below ...


At the end of the day, it's always nice to relax 
and get the bedroom all ready for nighttime ...

... with calming curtains and good reading material 
... who doesn't like to read all about Emery!!!

Unfortunately, it's always hard to make it 
right into bed before falling fast asleep!!!
