My latest adventures

We have been having so much fun lately! I want to tell you about everything that's been going on. I'll start with today and then go back as far as I can remember. So...

Today we went strawberry picking! I had been waiting to pick strawberries for a long time. Last year we got to go in the barn and see the baby goats and I wanted to go really bad. But there was no one in there. Everyone was in the fields for the last day of picking berries. I picked a lot of berries. And ate a lot, too! But there were still plenty to bring home to eat and make into jam.

Yesterday was a quiet day. I slept until 10:00. Then I got to help make brunch. William and I made the waffles. While Mommy was turning the sausages, I snuck a little extra vanilla in the batter. Everyone agreed that it was a delicious addition! The sausages also got a little blackened with all those hands in the kitchen. But we decided that was a good change, too! After lunch, I took a nice long nap so I would be ready for my first dance class! Mommy and I got to dance together! And the teacher asked me to help demonstrate the side step. I was very brave and agreed to hold her hands while we stepped down the line.

On the 4th of July, William and I got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house while Mommy and Daddy went to a baseball game. They were pretty excited and so were we. Because Grandma and Grandpa brought us to Big Fish Lake to play in the water with friends. I even jumped off the raft twice! Grandpa caught me. After the lake, it was time for big fireworks! It got pretty late for me because the fireworks were delayed by a helicopter coming to the hospital. And then we stayed for a little ice cream (I ate mostly cherries) while we waited for the crowds to walk past. But I didn't mind staying up late. I was having so much fun!

The two days before that we had a family reunion at Grandma Barb's house. There were a lot of people there to see. I was a little shy with the grownups, but I had lots of fun playing outside with the other kids. We played and swam and ate lots of junk food. We even got to go out on the boat with Grandpa Ron and see fireworks on the river on Saturday!

Well, that's as far back as I can remember. I have a few pictures and will probably have some dance pictures soon. I hope you're having as much fun as I am this summer!

I love Picasa! It was so easy to get rid of all the mosquito bites on her face. I don't know why they always have to get her right between the eyes! She's apparently the tasty one in the family.
