Lake Ann

Shortly after we all got back from our 4th of July trip to South Dakota, mommy took me to one of my favorite parks, but this time she took me down to the lake. With all my water issues ((don't even mention the word pool around me, I'll freak out...)) mommy wasn't sure how I would like all the sand. But I LOVED IT!!! I ran in and out of the water, threw sand around and even got to play with some friends. Mommy says we are all set to go back soon and make this our new favorite summer hangout. I love Lake Ann!!

Getting right down to business when we got there.

I loved throwing the sand around.

Happy summer day!

"Look at me in the water!"

Running, running, running.............

4th of July

Well.....we're home from our annual 4th of July trip to South Dakota and I'm just now getting around to talking about it. There's just so much going on and we were so tired ((and mommy and me got a little sick once we got home)) that I have to rest a few days before I could post it. I sure had a fun time at grandma & papa's farm even though it was very hot and humid out. But I got to see and play with all my cousin's and mommy said I took 4 straight days worth of VERY long naps once we got home so I must have been tired. Now I'm back into my routine of school, going to the lake and playing outside!! So even though it's late we hope you had a good 4th!!

It's a little hard to see them but there's daddy, Uncle Brad, Uncle Tim and Uncle Ed all lighting fireworks off on the 4th. I was already in bed but mommy took this picture.

Our 2nd night there we all went out to eat, all 18 of us, to celebrate papa's birthday. Here's my cousin Nikki and I heading into Famous Daves.

Eating daddy's corn, yummy!!!!! Mommy says clearly my eyes are bigger than the corn.

The big project everyone worked on was the tearing down of the old garage on papa's farm. My Uncle Brad came out with his big loader to help it go faster. I was a little scared of it but when it was shut off, he let me and daddy sit in it. As mommy says, it's my version of winning the lottery.

Showing the tires are bigger than me.

"Hi Everyone!!!!!"

Uncle Brad working on pushing the old garage over.

Still working at it.....it did not want to come down.

And it's gone!!!!!
