4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend!

On Saturday morning we went to a parade. Chase had a Great time! I had to be convinced it was fun, but once I started watching (and getting candy), I enjoyed it. We saw bands, dogs, tractors, Clifford and much, much more. After the parade daddy took us to lunch. We went to a deli and they gave everyone free ice cream!

After lunch we went home to take naps and when we woke up, we went to see some of the local festivities. We went to a frisbee dog show. It was great. We had a blast cheering and clapping for all of the dogs.

After watching the dogs we went to check out some of the other booths. Chase and I both got our faces painted and we also got tattoos.

On Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpas for a big cook out. I kept reminding everyone it was Americas birthday. Uncle Seth was home from California and I had fun playing football with him. Daddy even taught me a spin move I was using to trick him.

Most of Grandma's family came to the party and there were lots of people and kids to play with. We even had GG's birthday party! She's turning 85 and Chase and I both made her special cards.

After dinner Chase and I were Grandpa's assistants in making homemade ice cream. We helped put the ice in and then took breaks from playing every so often to ask him if it was ready. We also volunteered to be the first tasters. It was very Yummy!!!

Once it started to get dark, Grandma has a surprise for us- sparklers!!! Grandma and Grandpa's neighbors also put on a pretty big fireworks show.

On Monday, daddy had a big surprise for us- Putt Putting! Can you believe I got it in the hole every time? In the end we all tied, so we all got icees afterwards to cool down.

Yesterday Grandpa and Uncle Seth came to watch my soccer lessons. I was a little shy at first, but I warmed up and even scored another goal. When we got home Uncle Seth gave me an early birthday present- a USA soccer uniform!!!! I love it! I cried when I had to take it off for bed so mommy could wash it. Of course I put it on as soon as I got up!

Have a good week!
