Tara's dad, Roger, has been up visiting us this week. It's been really nice. Em has had a blast! For instance, she is usually really excited about going to school, but she told Tara the other morning that she would rather stay home to play with Grandpa than go to school. So today we kept her home from preschool, and Roger and I took her to this place in North Salt Lake- The Kangaroo Zoo.

It's basically just a big warehouse with lots of inflatable slides and playgrounds. Emily loved it! In the past she has been kind of timid about trying new things. For example, she has always been nervous about going on swings or big slides at playgrounds. Today though, she totally surprised me. We watched her sprint around for an hour and a half going on every slide they had- even the really big ones.. head first (one some of them). I seriously couldn't believe it. She just went for it!

Most of the slides are shaped like dinosaurs or animals.. She would say to Roger and me, "OK Dad! Watch me get eaten by the dinosaur and then you say- 'Oh my Emily where did you go? Don't get eaten by the dinosaur!!'" Then she would run through and give precise instructions on what to say as she came down the slide like, "Oh Emily I thought the dinosaur got you and am so happy you came back!!" It was funny.

We all went to get frozen yogurt afterward. Emily had chocolate with gummy bears. ..and then I took her to her dentist appointment. haha..
