A Super Duper 4th of July Week

Hurry up! Take the picture! Can't you see that I'm standing right in front of a giant dinosaur?

I had a really fun week in Ohio. Grandma, Megan, Mom and I went to the zoo while Uncle Ned and Grandpa went shopping for a new car for Aunt Robin. You should see the pretty shiny red car Uncle Ned got for her!

I took a pony ride, rode on two trains, and brushed the goats hair at the zoo. It was really coarse and thick. I tried to put a ribbon in it, but Mom said it wasn't a good idea. Apparently goats don't wear ribbons. We rode a train together and then Megan and I played on the slide.

I even saw the elephants, we had a great day at the zoo!

Megan and I had a lot of energy to burn off at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Megan and I also went out for a bike ride with Grandpa. See Dad, I've got my helmet on!

Here are some more pictures of Megan and me!

After that I met Grandma's friend Kathy. She was really nice. We had so much fun playing at the playground at Polaris. Then we all had lunch with Kathy's son, Joe. You really won my heart, Joe! You sure do know how to make a girl laugh.

By the end of the day I was all worn out.

Say.......what's this animal?

Ladies and gentlemen, do not attempt this at home. I am a trained professional.

I picked up a new skill this past week. I can really play the drum!

Uncle Ned's friend, John, would be proud of me.

Mom and Dad say he's a great drummer!

Guess what else I did last week? I watched a 4th of July parade with Uncle Casey, Aunt Maresa, Liam, and Grayson. It was a blast! I especially liked watching the bands march by. Afterwards, I had a great time playing with Liam and Grayson at Uncle Casey and Aunt Maresa's house.

Mom's camera battery died so I will work on borrowing some of Aunt Maresa's pictures for next week.

Later on that week, I went to the Walnut Elementary School playground with Grandma and Grandpa. Someday, I am going to be a rock climber just like Dad.

For now, I think I'll stick to swinging on the swings.

I also went to visit Dad's parents. I had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandpa and I watered the flowers.

After that we looked for some bugs together.

Then Grandma took me for a stroller ride around the whole neighborhood. We had a good time.

Grandma got out some playdough for me to play with on the counter.

I like using the big rolling pin and cookie cutters to play with the playdough.

Here we are on the porch. We had fun together.

That's it for this week. I had lots of fun and am glad I could share my adventures with you. See you next week.

Until then, how about a big hug!
