Nick and Kris both arrived late Thursday night/early Friday morning, and our much-anticipated visit commenced! On our way home, Nick, Emmy and I paid a visit to his Aunt Cindy and her husband, Joe's, farm in Centerpoint, Indiana. We had SUCH a fantastic time!!
Stories will come when I have finished unpacking and have a chance to think in full sentences, but I wanted to share the pics ASAP!!
Graham crackers and applesauce for snack...Clairey is disgusted by Emmy's meal time etiquette:
Walking to the park...We started off with Andy on his bike and Clairey & Emmy were in the wagon.
Andy decided to ride in the stroller after I asked him to put on his helmet.
At the end of the driveway: Clairey was seriously distrurbed by the dirt on her shirt after I accidentally ran the wagon into an overgrown bush.
Clairey no longer wants to ride in the wagon, opting for the stroller instead.
Finally made it to the park.
The ride home.
Baking chocolate chip cookies. (Emmy stole Clairey's "pincess" sippy cup, which is a big, BIG no-no in Clairey's book.)
Emmy thought it was hilarious to turn the mixer up to full speed. She was only egged on by Andy's giggles. She's already showing signs that she will probably be that girl at the party that accepts all the dares.
Playing beauty shop with Auntie Kristi.
Don't forget the shades!
Rock on, Twinkle Toes.
Pig tail day!
Clairey in time-out for picking on Emmy.
"NO NO, Emmy!!"
"You've done enough already!"
Penny Belle, Aunt Cindy and Little Joe's pup after Molly showed her who's boss.
Emmy meets her second cousin, Andrea!
Emmy, Andy and Claire play with cousin Joe!

Date Night!
A few of the 20 alpacas on Aunt Cindy's farm!
Who's that hot guy leading the horses??

...mounts the horse!
My Nick and Raven
Emmy's first reaction when she sat on Shadow...
Aunt Cindy holds on tight!
Still a little unsure...but no tears!
How's the weather up there?
For now, Emmy prefers the stationary saddle. I do believe this is the first time she has smiled at the camera unprompted. :-P
Uncle Joe, Aunt Cindy, Emmy and my Nick! Can't wait for next time!
What fun!!! The saga of getting to the park had me laughing out loud! Emmy is looking more like you these days Ali! Such a cutie-pie and I'm SO impressed with how she did with the horse (Will couldn't stand to pet one the other day...). Love that you guys got a date night in; you both look so happy!!!!
