A hunting we will go.

Emerson went on his first Easter Egg hunt a couple of weeks ago.  He did really well.  He found about 10 eggs.  They were not filled with anything that interested him, but he liked playing with the eggs.  

We recently took a trip to Chattanooga.  We took Emerson climbing.  I had to carry him into the woods for at least a mile.  By the time we got in there, I was too tired to climb.  We had a great time though.  It was so nice to be outside and doing something we love.  There are so many things that we did when we lived in Chattanooga that we never do anymore.  Mostly because they are not right in our backyard anymore.  

We also went out to eat with some old friends.  We made reservations and when we got there, they would not let us in.  This restaurant chooses smokers over families.  It is a bar and grill, but they have a no smoking section.  They do not allow anyone under 21 to enter.  They said it is a law in Chattanooga now.  I haven't found any such law on the internet, I have been looking.  Talk about discrimination.  I was so angry.  It wasn't like I was taking my son to a bar.  It was 6:00 in the evening, I had no intentions of drinking anything more that a coke, and we had reservations for the non-smoking section.  Also, do I not have the right to make choices for my son.  If I want to take him into a restaurant filled with smoke, by God, I should be able to.  I was so furious.  

All in all, our trip was a success.  We ended up going to a Mexican restaurant, who by the way also allows smoking, and the food was better than the other place would have been anyway.

Emerson got  to play with Nathan and Amanda's little boy.  Kiah is 10 months old.  They had a good time together.
