She tried to put the lid on it once but when we helped her get it all the way on it scared her and now she doesn't want it on at all.
Cutie!
The Rhododendron Gardens
J.R. Emily and I at the overlook
These flowers grow all by themselves every year. There are millions of them! They are at the summit of the mountain and it is well worth the drive
Emily had a great time exploring. She loved to smell and touch the flowers
Down a grassy path
Flower petels cover the ground and give it a fairy tail apperance
Emily and Daddy admiring the flowers
As we walked through the wooded area a little beyond the flowers we saw moss covered trees and a deer! The moss was so soft and pretty. It was so nice and peaceful there. I think we will definetly go back next year.
So Pretty
The day before we loaded up our trailer we went to the sand dunes with Kris and Becky. We took the 4 Wheeler and had a blast! Since we only had one 4 wheeler and we didn't want to waste time making multiple trips we all road on it together like this! Crazy, I know, but it was lots of fun! Emily was the only one who didn't have fun. We went right over her nap time and she made sure we knew she wasn't happy about it. It was the only time we could all go together though so I made the sacrifice. At one point J.R. and Kris went off looking for a steeper dune to jump off of and when they found one J.R. left Kris and came back for Becky, Emily and I. Emily had given up on me by then and wanted Becky to hold her but because Becky was on the very back of the 4 wheeler she couldn't. We stopped at the top of a dune to look for Kris because J.R. couldn't remember where he had left him and Emily reached for Becky and said through tears, "I'm so sleepy" when that didn't work she dove for Becky arms and said "sleepy baby". If was so sad and so cute at the same time. We eventually found Kris and jumped off a few more dunes and then we went home. It was a great end to our Idaho vacation!
Emily resigning herself to a 30 hour car ride amongst a bunch of stuff. At least the sun wasn't in her eyes! We used a 5X8 trailer and one car to move all our stuff from Idaho to Jonesborough TN. It was very crowded in the car and I never want to do it again but it saved us a lot of money.
J.R. driving with Pebbles poking his head up between the seats
This is how Pebbles road for most of the trip. he just sprawled out over the console between the seats. It looks so uncomfortable but I guess he thought it was better than being squished on the flour behind the passenger seat.
Emily passing the time away by playing with her toes! The scab on her nose is from trying to go down the concrete stairs in front of J.R.'s parents house like a big girl while we loaded up the trailer. You guessed it...she face planted. Ouch!
Feeding Pebbles one kibble bit at a time in the hotel room! He is such a good dog, he took each piece nice a gently from her fingers.
Wearing Daddy's crocs! She tried to walk in them but didn't get very far.
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri!
