July 4!!!

On July 4, we got up, ate breakfast, and got dressed quickly. We were headed to a parade. Before we headed out though, we took some pictures and played with the toys with wheels. Ryan was very sad that he is too big for my car. He was able to drive my tricycle all by himself though.

We went to the Lorton parade and fair. It was cute, but next year, we will go back to Fairfax. I didn't like the sound of the motorcycles when they were right in front of us.

After the parade and nap time, we went to the pool for a little while. It was only a little while because of the lifeguard's break.

After the pool, I took a bath with Ryan and Brielyn while Daddy worked on dinner, a 4th of July barbeque. I ate a hot dog. After dinner, we played - in pajamas - until we went to Fort Belvoir to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks were very pretty, but a little scary. It was a late night.

July 2 and 3

On July 2nd, we went to Charlottesville to celebrate Brooke's 3rd birthday. Her party was at a sprayground and playground. The party was Minnie Mouse themed! Ms. Kristen made an excellent strawberry cake. I even ate it. We found Ms. Anita grabbing up baby Katelyn at the party too :)

That night, Mr. Ian, Dr. Wendy, Ryan, and Brielyn came to visit. The next morning it was play time! First, we played at home.

Then, we played at Pirate's Cove, a great water park near my house. We played until nap time.

After nap time, I took a bath and decided it was time to put on a dress. I picked out my Jasmine outfit. Very cute and good for play time part 3.

Playtime part 4 came after dinner. We played with bubbles. Mommy made us strawberry kiwi Fruitable popsicles. I have to say my first popsicle was quite yummy. Daddy helped me finish it though.

2nd Half of June

On June 18, we went to the zoo. I saw all kinds of animal, including what Mommy and Daddy call the elusive cassowary. They went all the way to Australia and didn't see one and there it is in DC.

On June 19, I helped Anna celebrate her birthday. We had a great time at her pool.

June 21 brought the end of my Little Gym semester. We ended with a "show" and I got another ribbon! All the pictures of the class are on Mommy's phone.

June 21 was also picture day at school. This brought a great chance for a new purple chair picture! The school picture is only okay. It would have been nice had they told Mommy there would be a beach background and not a normal plain background.

Here we are at the sprayground. They resurfaced the ground, so I didn't slip as much.

Mommy loves to see what my hair looks like at the end of the school day. The afternoon teachers love to do my hair.

The Giant just became much more fun to shop at. Now, I get to do the shopping!
