Luke's Diary: 4th of July

Hi Mommy's Blog Readers!

We just had 4th of July and it was so fun!

Here's Sissy in the morning in her fourth-of-July PJs..it's hard to see but they say "Red, White and Cute!"

Blue and white stripes were the closest Mommy could come to forth-of-July PJs for me. They have a little teddy on the pocket and Sissy always says "Teddy" and points when Mommy puts these PJs on me. Oh, and this is my Ugly Doll, Donnie Darinko.

There was a parade in our neighborhood! Grandma decorated the wagon up super cute. I rode in it up to the starting point of the parade, but then there was too much going on and I wanted to get out. Sissy rode in the wagon the whole way, though. She has her new little pirate dog in her lap...it's her favorite toy at the moment.

There were fire trucks in the parade, which was so cool!

Here's Sissy with one of the fire trucks, and waving the flag...she's a good waver.

I was happier off to the side though. Isn't my parade outfit great? Daddy says the hat makes me look like a dude.

There was a pretty cool dog:

And lots and lots of people. Our neighbors all seem so nice.

Dad let me ride on his shoulders most of the way...he is the best...

Here's Mommy pulling Sissy in the wagon, with extra teddies in the car on the back (Sissy is so into teddies right now, Grandma thought teddies would be a good theme for our wagon. Didn't Grandma do such a great job? We love all she does to make holidays special for us.)

And then after the parade was the pool. Mommy and Daddy actually moved our chairs that we eat in outside, and we spent most of the rest of the weekend in our backyard. That was the best part of 4th of July...just all of us hanging out together.

Oh, and we've heard stories of fireworks, but apparently we are too young to go see them yet, mostly because it would mess with our bedtime and Mommy and Daddy have us on such a good sleep schedule they are loathe to mess with it.

Instead, Mommy and Daddy left us with Grandma, and they went and had a nice dinner at the Sandia Resort and Casino, to celebrate Mommy being out of her first trimester. I heard they got a mountain view, not a city view, so they didn't get to see the fireworks, but the whole time there was a huge electrical storm approaching and then right overhead...Mommy said the lightening was way cooler than fireworks. She also said we'll get to go see fireworks soon, probably next year...

So that was our 4th of July. It was pretty awesome.

Love,

Luke
