July 2011-Independence Day weekend

Saturday
Getting ready for Independence Day - We put out the flag
(Hi mama!)


And pose for a family photo


Then I get to check stuff out


And dad and I take turns


Dad gives me the business about flags are too look at and wave - NOT eat

 

And then he helps me wave the flag



It's sooo HOT!
I get to go do a classic summer time activity - the water park!
Customized for me - right in my tub :)


________________________________________________________________________

Then on Moday
We went to IHOP for breakfast.
I have rice cereal and get to have some sweet potato puffs
 (melts in your mouth - not in your hands)
Mom and dad had funnel cake


Then off to the new city park...Where did it go?
 
  

There it is!

 

 



Mom's turn




The off to the playground for awhile...

I get to sit in the big kid swing


Then dad sets me up in a little kid swing


Are you sure about this?


I think I'm getting the hang of it...where's the dashboard of this vehicle?


I want to swing with mom



Then off to the slide


On your mark...get set...GO!

 

the Jungle Gym is next

 

Oops! Lost a shoe


Dad and I are dare-devils extraordinaire



Mom says - it's hot - let's go play in the water some-more




BBQ for the 4th is a tradition.
Aunt Connie's Baked Beans, Cheeseburgers, Pickles, Watermelon, Potato Chips, Berry Pie
I have Rice & Green Beans.


What's for dessert?
WHAT! - Wait!?! 
Mom's actually going to let me have dessert?
I don't believe it!


I get to have a lick of dad's watermelon!
First bite - not sure about the texture...


But then - OH YA!


How about a bite or 2 instead of just a lick?


That's the ticket
So I had more than 1 bite  - can you blame me?
Tastey stuff.


watch me below




Then later that night - Dad woke me up to see the fireworks 
(lots of neighbors got together to do at the bottom of our driveway)
so I sat on the front porch under an umbrella and jumped and wiggled - it was a blast!
