Labor Day in Carolina

 Over the Labor Day weekend, Alison and Emerson got to take a (too) short trip to visit the Stones at their new home in South Carolina. Before the trip, we told Emerson that Uncle Neil would be there but not Uncle Eric. He repeatedly stated his knowledge throughout the trip.

Although we didn't have much time, we tried to make the most of it. We checked out the Greenville Zoo.

We saw some fountains in the appropriately-named town of Fountain Inn.

We explored the pond near Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was pretty, but there was a little too much nature for Alison and Neil's tastes...

Emerson hitched a ride with Grandma.

We also visited Falls Park in downtown Greenville.

Emerson has picked up some weird new sleep preferences, and he took them to a ridiculous extreme at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He kept requesting "more blankets," and this eventually included a towel, an extra crib sheet, and a nursing cover. There is also a pillow and multiple stuffed animals. Silly baby!
