Two Year Anniversary Adventures

Yesterday was our 2 year anniversary so we decided to go up to Silver Flatts, where Tyler proposed. We hiked around the lake, it was so beautiful up there and we had fun taking Emri.
The photos are all out of order, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Oh well. :)

This is the chunkiest looking picture we have of her to date. For some reason she always turns out looking extra chunky in pictures... but still so cute!

Emri started to fuss toward the end, wanted mommmm.
