The Splinter

Spring was begging us to come outside and play yesterday afternoon so we headed out to our favorite local trail for a hike.

Mr. Cool (a.k.a. Camden Lee) is ready to roll... A priceless picture of my 2 favorite guys!
Taking a break to be cats along the trail...
For those of you who know our Emma, she is not a fan of dogs. Our little adventurer struck out ahead of us on the trail and met up with a rather large husky and his owners. Her plan: hide under the table and maybe the dog won't notice her. :)
"Here I come!"
And so our wonderful afternoon takes a turn for the worst right about now...
Emma (pretending to be a cat) gets a splinter.
To us: not a big deal.
To Emma: you would have thought she had a cedar log sticking in her pointer finger.
After an unpleasant hike back to the car and the ride home, Chris finally convinces Emma that he needs to take the splinter out. Cartoons on TV and even her eye mask- just in case-Emma was distracted enough to let dad do his thing.
The splinter is now taped into Emma's baby book as a memory of this day. ;)
