Mississippi Trip April 2009

Our trip to Mississippi was full of business and fun for Emma Claire. She was so excited to be going to MS and flying on another airplane. She kept telling people "I fly on airpane. It not scare me. I be with Mommy & Daddy." It was so funny because she was so serious about the whole experience. As we boarded the plane it was so funny to see how excited Emma Claire was to get to sit in her own big girl seat. Up until now she has been traveling as an infant so she would just sit in m lap. She got into her seat next to the window and buckled her seatbelt very tight. She was great!!! She has flown so many times that I believe that she is a pro. As the flight began to come to an end I began to explain to Emma Claire that the landing would probably be a little bit bumpy but that she would be fine because she would still be with Mommy and Daddy. I wanted her to be prepared for the rough landing before we got there so she didn't get upset. Of course when we got off the airplane and met RaRa down at the baggage claim the first thing she told her was that the plane was "TOOOO BUMPY"! She still walks around telling people that the airplane she rode was "Toooo Bumpy." It's priceless.
While we were in MS Emma Claire got to do so many fun things. She got to ride the tractor with Poppa and get ear bobs, go to children's choir practice and sing with Mallie Kate and John Rilee, go to Gold Bond and work with Na-Na and Ra-Ra, swing on the porch swing with Grandaddy, eat special cookies with Pops and Gran-Gran, play with her little cousin Branna, eat at all her favorite restaurants ; ) , and the grandest of all... swing on her new swing set that Pe-Paw bought for her. Do you think she got spoiled or WHAT!?!?!

We had such a great time and the fun didn't end there. We had to go back to Nashville and spend the night so our cousin, Chelsey came to visit with us in the hotel. For a treat while Daddy worked Chelsey and I took Emma Claire to the Rainforest Cafe for Dinner. We had so much fun. She was so amazed by all of the animals in the restaurant. She was, however, a little unsure of the the gorillas sitting next to our table. Every time that a "storm" would come through and wake the gorillas up she would jump to quickly get in mine or Chelsey's lap. Even though she was a little unsure about all the noise she LOVED the overall experience. She loved the fish, and monkey's, and hippos. It is defiantly something we will do again.

Now we are home again and trying to get back into the routine of things. Since we have moved into our new home we haven't been able to slow down and enjoy it. That's the plan now stan!!! : )
