First Tomato! Emma wins!

Frank and Emma each grew a tomato plant this year. They had a contest to see who's plant was tallest and Emma won. And Emma also won the who got to harvest the first tomato.

Echo, Wind, Water and Rolling

Echo:

Here we are braving The Echo again. (For those who don't recall, this area is called "The Echo" because there is a huge storm drain that Emma liked to yell "ECHO" into when she was 2. And the name has forever stuck. Even other kids in the apartment complex call it The Echo.) We are braving it because of past car wrecks that lead cars to end up IN side The Echo. But, I figure they happened in winter and what are the chances? I can't live my life in that kind of fear.

Running! Cutest pic of Emma in a long time IMO!

Picking flowers for me. I'm special.

Rolling:

Fast

Stopping

Slow


Water:

And this is the Eye Sore, also known as Cowabunga
Bay. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against water parks
or fun. It's just so ugly, so so so ugly. So ugly. And yes
That is a huge bucket of water dumping onto the park,
And YES, that is kinda cool...but ugly. (And expensive!)


Wind
It is always this windy in Draper. Well maybe not EVERY day, but nearly everyday. Especially at The Echo, because there is nothing to stop the wind from building up. So even on a day with it's 105 outside it feels nice and cool in the windy shade. The wind here is so great that people come from all over the world to hang glide and other such wind related sports.

FINE AMY GEEZE!

Ok, so, Amy guilted me into figuring out my blog password again, turns out I had it written down!

So here is a quick post and I will post something EVERYDAY for the next TWO WEEKS...this is my vow!

Don't lose all faith in me! Here are a few highlights:


Emma joined a Satanic cult, as you can see the followers wear purple and strike angry poses.


We saw a friend perform in Beauty and the Beast (our friend was Belle) and Emma Belle got to meet Belle!



We are growing basil
and tomatoes

Emma had a bubble bath outside.



Come back tomorrow for more!
