Running with Papa

 Emerson was ready to run...

 and his Papa was ready to run with him...

 back and forth...

 "around the bend" as Emerson says (from Thomas the Train!)...

 It's not everyday you see people running with a blanket...

 But Emerson did... never tripping over it... not putting it down... he did look back several times to see if I was taking photos... or getting it all on video...

 Occasionally, he'd run to me and want to look at the camera to see the picture.. and then once he'd seen it, off he'd run...

 "Let's go, Papa!"

Emerson is not a quiet runner... I love hearing all his little happy noises as he runs!

 You may notice an absence of Papa in the last photos... someone was getting a bit tired from all the running...

and it wasn't Emerson!
