July 4th

This long weekend really was great...and really was tiring, too!  We had Saturday with the Sorrells, Sunday was church day and then yesterday was 4th of July at Granny's house!  I had a blast at Gran's.  My cousins Levi and Evan were there and it felt like ages since I'd last talked to them.  Also, another cousin named Mason was there with his friend Trevor.  We had a great time playing in the back yard together for a while.  We also ate our lunch outside under a big canopy that  Pa brought so we wouldn't get too hot.  It was great.
Some time in the afternoon all my cousins left, but me and Myla stayed.  The grown ups were all talking about the possibility of fireworks later in the evening and so I played some new games on Gran's IPad that Uncle Patrick put on there for me.  It was really fun because these games were Dora games!  Myla took a good nap in her bouncy chair and most of us just snacked throughout the afternoon and early evening.  It was Uncle Jeff's birthday so we had cake, too!  (I also gave Uncle Jeffy some pictures I made for his birthday.)
Uncle Patrick and Uncle Jeff left for a while and when they came back they told me that they'd gotten us some fireworks!  I got a BUNCH of my very own snappers that I threw all over the porch and ramp to make noise.  Actually there are even more left that I can throw another time!!  Then as soon as it got dark enough we had our very own fireworks show in the back yard!  Myla stayed inside for most of it with Aunt Lesa but the rest of us stayed out back.
It was WONDERFUL!  We had TONS of fireworks, some that stayed on the ground and lots that went way up in the air with big booms and pretty colors!  I loved it!!  Part of the time I sat down with Uncle Jeffy while Patrick took care of the fireworks and part of the time I sat on the deck with Gran, Pa, Grandma, Mommy and Daddy.
WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME!!  When it was over we quickly headed home because Myla was READY FOR BED...and to be very honest, I was ready for bed!!!  What a great holiday weekend I had!!  (I hear the fun isn't stopping because Pa is off work this week and so today I get to go see the movie CARS 2 with him and Grandma!!!)
