Swing away

So as previously stated, we went to Pinetop, AZ(near showlow) for Memorial day weekend. It was kinda planned and yet kinda not. Sean going alone VS all together. The same thing everyone does...juggle the finances, cut some here, add more there-budgeting. Upon Wednesday it was decided we could all go. While driving the 3 1/2 hour drive we were trying to recall when was the last time we went together on a road trip. Indeed it was when Emmery was about a month old that we trekked 6 hrs to Cali for a beach trip. Yup, it sure had been almost two years. Crazy how time just keeps on going. But this vaycay would not be "all" vay cay...we were actually going there for a softball tournament that Sean's UOP team participates. Sean plays for fun and doesn't have to pay the league fees...thats whats so awesome about working for University of phoenix. However all other expenses were out-of-pocket, hence the budgeting. But we were all thankful we could go. The weather was fantastic...the first two days were cloudy, tad windy, and drizzly. The rest of the weekend was partly cloudy and sunny, meaning, perfect. They weren't joking when they called this place Pinetop, its the tip top of the mountains. We were literally driving through the clouds aka fog. Many times outside I swear I could reach up and graze the clouds.

Saturday and Monday were spent out at the playing field as much as Em and I could stand. Naps are still a must on vaycay. But apart from that she and I enjoyed the room of the pines. Other families came to support their hubbys so Emmery to a liking to observing the kids play and mingling a bit too. she is her own person, she really is quite content doing her own thing. But she does have her sassy side. There were many-a-time's where I would catch her being chased by boys. She just can't get enough of it...of course it's never to long before shes engulfed in the fun that she runs into some object or trips and scrapes herself. Emm sure did catch the attention of some little girls too, it was funny to watch them follow her around, stand up for her, carry her, talk to her, chase her...it was like babysitting without the fees! My kinda day! So at times I did rather enjoy being able to watch my husband play with an ever-so watchful eagle eye on Emm. I could begin to relax for a short while. But you know its always a blessing when you come home and no ones sick or injured. Thanks to God's tender mercy.
