This was Emerson's very first Yankton trip! We took Abby when she was about this age and I remembered having to pack a crazy amount of stuff and that it was a little rough being on vacation with a baby but hey I knew Robb and I could handle it. Not to mention when you take a vacation with Grandma and Grandpa they are usually more than willing to help. Thanks Bob and Susie!
Robb was showing Emerson the lake. She liked the water until she realized she was getting wet...
......then she didn't so much like the water!
This adorable little peanut was a little bit of a vacation challenge. I think she was teething because she just wasn't quite herself. She was drooly and a little grumpy at times. Also we didn't follow her schedule what so ever so I think she was confused on naps and bed time.
The first night we were there I attempted to get her to sleep in the Pack n Play. That wasn't going to happen so I put her in our full size bed with us (we are used to a king so Robb and I barley fit). Needless to say the first night was a sleepless one for me and then after 3 hours up with her I made Robb get up too. Daddy and Emmy ended up taking a 1am walk most nights we were there.
This how Emmy and I spent a lot of the time. It was the easiest way for me to keep up with the big kids and she loves it.
Grandma Susie thought Emmy needed an adorable swimming suit and matching hat just in case she decided to take up synchronized swimming.
Although we worried about her getting too much sun and getting bug bites we did get to spend a fair amount of time outside. It was a team effort of all the people that went to Yankton but we had a great vacation with baby Emmy. A big thanks to Steve who let me borrow his rocking deck chair every night so I could rock her to sleep and most nights that is where Emmy and I slept.
