4th of July!

4th of July was a great day! My parents both worked during the day time, so I hung out with my Grammy and Gramps a lot. And then after my mom was off work, we went outside to play. If you look at the Video post, you can see some of my fun action shots involving bubbles and snaps! Grammy and I were blowing bubbles and I was chasing them all over. We had to do them under the carport because it was so windy out in the grass the bubbles floated away too fast. Here's one reaction shot to bubbles!!! I guess we need to go to Wal-Mart and buy more bubbles!!! After all the bubbles were gone, I played fetch with Grammy's dog Peanut! I don't thow the ball very far, but I sure love doing it!
Soon it was time to start the homemade ice cream!!!! Yummmmmmm. I helped Gramps add the ice and salt as he stirred the mixture...
And then Mom and Gramps and I did some snaps. I really enjoyed them! If I couldn't get them to snap on the first throw, I would run over and pick it up and throw it again!
And then after we did all the snaps, I even ran around and picked up the snapped papers! I tried to see how many I could hold in my hand at once. Gramps just liked it because I did all the clean up and didn't know it!

And then after it got dark, Dad got home from work! Aunt Kathy and Uncle John came up to the house, too, and we had the best meal in the world!!! It was scrumpulucious! And of course, we followed it up by the ice cream Gramps and I made earlier! Dad had bought a few fireworks so we did a few of them and by that time, all the big shows were starting. We all pulled up chairs and watched in all directions. The local high school did a big show and so did a few subdivisions close by. And then we could see several other large shows from a distance. I was loving it! I would "Ooooh!" and point at them to make sure all the adults saw it too! And the loud noises didn't scare me at all. And then next thing I knew, I was asleep on Mom's shoulder...

What a great day!
