Summer Indoor Fun

The weather is getting quite hot here in St. George - over 100 degrees most days.  This makes it hard for my outdoor lover to play outside.  When it was cooler we would play at the park or out in our front yard lots.  Now our outdoor fun has to include water - the swimming pool or splash park.  Emily is becoming a little fish using her "Splash Jumper" life vest.  She can swim around pretty independently which makes the swim adventure more pleasant for me too.

Other mornings when we don't go to the pool we enjoy time exploring the baby gadgets at home.  Emily likes to pretend with all the baby things, even though she hasn't seen them in use yet.  I am excited to see her imagination grow as the baby comes and Emily sees how the objects are used with the baby.

The church nursery is another favorite outing.  Emily has been going to nursery for a few months now.  She loves to play with the toys and other kids.  It is helpful and fun that our neighbor who watches her during piano lessons is her teacher too in nursery.  Emily loves to explore the toys independently.  She especially loves care taking for the dolls.  I am glad to see her love nursery so much!

A short drive away makes the library a fun, cool, indoor activity too.  We can be caught among the bookshelves 2-3 times a week.  Emily loves to read the books - and pull them from the shelves.  I love to bring them home and have new books to read together.
