Our first real outing

On Saturday we had our first real outing. Sure we've been to the doctors, grandparents, & even a store or two, but Saturday we had an entire day out in Starkville.

Shortly after 9:00 we loaded up in the car and headed north on the Natchez Trace. It wasn't log into the drive before Emerson fell into a deep sleep. This was great for two reason; one a crying baby in the car for 2 hours is no fun and mommy & daddy go some good conversation in during the drive. We head straight for the Connerley house where Emerson got to visit with Aunt Lane & his cousin Ellington

Ellington was nice to her cousin sitting politely by him. She kept saying baby and even gave him a kiss at one point. She's a great cousin and looks exceptionally cool in her beads.

After visiting for a couple of hours Mom, Dad & Emerson headed over to Dudy Noble Field. It was perfect weather for a baseball game and our seats were in the shade so Emerson didn't have to worry about that pesky sun.

After a couple of inning we were joined by Pops & Pappaw. Eventually Lane, Bert, & Ellington joined as well.

Emerson did a great job during the game for several innings he just sat around checking all the new sights out. After all he had never been anywhere like Dudy Noble. He eventually feel asleep and didn't let the crowd's jubilant cheers bother him too much.

After he woke and State had a considerable lead we left in the middle of 8th to head back to the Connerley's to feed a hungry baby. After taking care of Emerson we meet up with the rest of the gang and headed over to Little Dooey's for some bar-b-q.

Emerson ended the day by sleeping most of the drive home.

It was a great Saturday and a great outing. Thanks everyone for a fun day.
