Hot Outside








What did we do when since the high was 105 degrees today?? We swam with Grandma Donna, Aunt Debbie and Alyssa!! We played inside in a tent we made in living room!! We ate dinner with Granny!!! We played in more water!!! We went to bed early because we were TIRED!!!
(P.S.  I got to go see my cousins Levi and Evan yesterday and swam with them!!  I just love the water and I just love my cousins and Aunt Sara and Uncle Lawrence!!  I bet you can understand after 2 days of water playing I am pooped out!!!)

Summer, Summer, Summer Time

We are continuing to have a great summer!  It has been a great week!!  First, daddy and I went to an Indianapolis Indians game with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Donna Friday night.  The game was great and there were fireworks when it was over!!  I had a wonderful time eating popcorn and cotton candy and just enjoying the atmosphere with my family!!  Mommy and Myla visited with Uncle Lawrence, Aunt Sara and the boys while we were gone.  They didn't go to the game because we didn't think Myla would be in a very good mood for the rest of the weekend if she stayed up past midnight!!
Saturday morning we headed to Grandpa Joe and Grammy's house to celebrate Father's Day!  Grammy recently had surgery so we wanted to see how she was doing, too!  It was a nice visit.  I was very gentle when giving hugs and I made sure Myla had a chance to try out the rocking horse!!
When it was time to leave we headed to Marion to meet up with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Donna for lunch!  We had a great lunch and decided to head to a petting zoo to see a camel!!  Well we saw much more than a camel!!  We saw goats, horses, ponies, a tiger, a baby lion, llamas, monkeys AND a kangaroo!!!  I got to feed the goats and a cow.  Myla kept her eyes on the animals and even reached out to try and pet a couple. 
I wasn't expecting it, but there were pony rides!!  I have never been able to ride a pony and it is something I have really wanted to do!  So, Grandpa Dave took me over to get a ticket!  I was so excited and even got to pick out which horse to ride.  Everybody watched as I rode around in a big circle.  You should have seen the smile on my face...it was huge!  (We have pictures on daddy's phone so hopefully I will get them on here tomorrow!!)  I know you probably think the action couldn't get any more exciting, BUT me and Myla got to PET A BABY LION!!!  She was almost 6 weeks old and I even got to hold her!!  Myla reached right out to see how soft she was!  (Again, we'll get a picture on here soon!)
Next came a trip to the mall and then we headed back to Grandma Donna's house.  After some time to cool off from being outside, I decided that I didn't want to leave grandma's house!!  When mommy and daddy had to leave, grandma and grandpa let me stay for the night!  We had IHOP for dinner...which was fabulous AND we went by to see the camel one more time.  I tried to get grandma to let me ride the camel, but apparently the rides were over for the night (and grandma was concerned about how HIGH off the ground I would have been)!
Yesterday was my last t-ball game for the season.  I am really sad that it is over.  We weren't sure how much I would like playing, but I really ended up enjoying it!!  I caught lots of balls, ran after lots of balls and did a great job batting.  I hardly played in the dirt in the all by Monday's game!!  I sure am proud of my daddy, too, for helping to coach me and my teammates. 
When the game was over we celebrated with Pizza King!!  Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave got to go, too!  It was a nice time of laughing AND eating breadsticks!!  One would think after all the busy times that we would be too tired to do anything, but we came home and played in the hose before bed!
Today was another great day!!!  We got to see Levi and Evan at Granny's house and spend the morning and early afternoon playing together!  We had one of my favorite lunches, spaghetti, and stayed until Myla's nap time!  I spent the afternoon playing with Grandma while mommy got ready for her friends to come to our house tonight.  THEN, when daddy got off work, I got to see Grandma Donna AGAIN!  We went to Grandpa Si and Grandma Hazel's and I got to ride around on his atv.  It was a blast!  We also had dinner at Chili's AND went to the park AND played outside until almost 9:00pm!!!
Yep, I can definitely say that I LOVE SUMMER TIME!!!
