Happy 4th Of July

Happy Birthday America!!!
Today, we headed out to the Ranch...Highlands Ranch that is.  We went to visit our friends Chris, Sara, and Avery for a parade and some fun!  It was really hot out...and Mommy and Sara (who also has a baby in her belly) thought it was a little uncomfortable...but, they pushed through it for us kids!

The Ranch had a carnival atmosphere that was filled with games and bounce houses.  The lines were long and the sun was so hot I wanted to sing a folk song about the day.  In fact, the heat was so intense Mommy had to cool down with some Jamba Juice.  We went across to street to try out some rides.  I wanted to ride the the mini train and jump in the bounce house.  I lasted about 30 seconds on the train until I bawled in vain.    I appreciate Mommy waiting in line even though it didn't pan out.

Next stop on the adventure was a balloon animal - I got a giraffe which last a day.  The last stop after Daddy had a toot was the bounce house with Avery.  I didn't want to go alone, so I made Daddy come with.  We bounced and bounced until the whistle range.  The rest of the day was spent playing with Avery and her toys.    We ended the day back at home, with a chance to see fireworks as I go to sleep.
Happy Birthday America.

I'm ready to walk to the parade (even though it may not look like it).
Well everyone else walked beside Avery and me.  

I got to pet a pony. 

I was waiting patiently for my ride to start. 

It wasn't long until I started crying to get off. 

I want my Mommy.  

Next stop; bounce house. 

It started to get hot so I played in the fountain with Avery and Daddy.  

Best Friends.  

I learned to pop some snaps all by myself.  I decided

to add in some happy feet while doing it.

Reading stories before bedtime. 

I was asleep, but Mommy and Daddy said this is the view

 of the fireworks from our backyard.

I can't believe that I slept through the grand finale.

See, this is me sleeping through the fireworks.
