2007 Memorial Day at Clemyjontri Park

This past Memorial Day weekend, we just decided to stay in the area. We didn't really feel like fighting all the traffic. Instead, we decided to do some yard work and then we thought it would be nice to have a little picnic out at Clemyjontri Park in McLean, VA. Emma had a great time at the park. This was the 2nd time she has been there. She didn't get a chance to enjoy it much the 1st time since she was too young. Emma LOVED the merry-go-round. She loved it so much that we had to take her on it TWICE. We think Emma will enjoy the park even more now that she is more mobile. We just wished the park was a little closer to home. Oh well.

"I'm all ready to enjoy the day at the park."

"Mommy...Daddy...are you done eating yet? I want to go play with all the other kids."

"Whoa...this is my first time on a horse. Let me hold on tight."

"Hi Daddy! I'm still getting used to the horse so Mommy is waving my arm for me."

"Okay...I'm getting the hang of it now. I can wave on my own."

"Why do my legs look so weird?"

"Hmm...I think I'll stick to the digital calculator instead."

"What would you like for me to play for you...Beethoven, Bach or Mozart?"

"Where would I like to go for our next family vacation?"

"My first attempt down a slide. Looks pretty scary."

"hahahaha...that wasn't so bad. That was actually fun."

"Why are they rolling down the hill? They're getting all dirty."

"What am I supposed to do here? You want me to crawl through this tunnel?"

"Mommy said that I need to hold on tight. Look at my concentration."

"I'm done with the dinosaur. What's next?"

"Riding Daddy's neck! It's almost as fun as riding the horse."

"I love the swings too. I like to go high."

"Do you think I can star in the next Kung Fu Panda movie?"

"My last ride on the merry-go-round before heading home. Boo hoo."
