The Fair day was quite hot (you can tell by Emily's picture...), but both girls enjoyed seeing the farm animals, and even saw their first clown show! Emily was a little apprehensive, but quickly started to enjoy herself. And Kara was cracking up! Kara also got to enjoy some carnival rides with Grandma and Grandpa while Emily went home for a nap.
We only got to Broomfield Bay (small local pool/water park) one day this summer (same as last summer) and both girls had a blast! It was a bit chilly for the adults, but we powered through. Kara couldn't get enough of the big water slides, and Emily made Dad go down the medium slide over and over and over....
August also brought lots of bounty from our little garden. We got several rounds of beans, lots and lots....and lots of zucchini, and yummy tomatoes! Our carrots were very sad and the watermelons were a complete no-show (maybe we should have weeded?!), but we plan to garden again next year. The girls really enjoyed watching everything grow.
Emily went with Mom and Kara to the hair salon one day and got her first salon experience. Ms. Rose was very nice and shampooed Emily's hair and gave her a good blow dry. Emily just thought it was the coolest thing.
Emily is going through an independent phase. She wants to do everything herself (including getting dressed, getting into the bath, reading books) and gets very irritated if someone tried to do something for her or makes her do something before she's ready. It has been a little tricky to get her to do things sometimes...
Kid quotes:
Emily: "No thank you, I'm playing toys" when we asked her to come to dinner one night.
