Sugar Mountain

This past weekend we went to Sugar Mountain with Paul's family.  Fred, Gin-g, Paul, Blake, and Emily ended up going tubing instead of skiing and from all reports they had a great time.  We're all excited that next year Emmie will be old enough to go tubing...she's going to have so much fun!  After everyone got back from tubing we took Emmie outside on the hill behind the condo and the guys packed down some snow for her and we slid her down the hill.  She didn't object to it but I wouldn't say she loved it...she was mostly confused about what those crazy adults were doing.  She spends a lot of time thinking we're all crazy.  After awhile we went and got a cookie sheet and sat her on that. 

There was sooo much snow on the balcony!

When she wasn't playing in the snow we entertained her in the condo.  There were lots of fun things to do and really everything's fun when you have an adoring audience.

GG put on a puppet show with Emmie's animals up in the loft.

There was a spiral staircase...Emmie was constantly crawling over there to try and climb up!

Greeting her adoring subjects!

I just love this picture.  She's giving her mousie some water...what a little nurturer...until she tossed him on his head...hmm...might need to work on that...she's going to be such a good big sister (don't worry...we'll have curbed the "tossing the baby on it's head" behavior by then!).

The place we stayed wasn't pet friendly so Franklin stayed with my parents while we were gone.  Apparently he slept pretty much the whole time!  I figure he was taking advantage of being able to sleep without having to worry about a baby trying to pet him!
