Michigan Trip (Part IV) - The Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July we all went to St. Johns City Park to hear some music and watch fireworks. Last year I slept through the festivities because I had my 2 month vaccinations and I was pooped out. This year, I'm a big boy and I got to stay up late and enjoy the birthday party. Happy Independence Day! Check out all the fun I had.

The Blue Lake Faculty Festival Band provided some patriotic and classical music. They even played Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with cannon fire and all. They were great.

Mommy and Daddy's feet were really tapping.

There was a big crowd there. Sarah's mom, Mrs. Newman, was even there. She sat with us. She's real nice. Sarah is Mommy's best friend from St. Johns. I hear she is real nice too, but I haven't met her yet. She lives in Wisconsin.

The fireworks began with a bang.

Daddy was a little afraid of the big noises, so I comforted him.

There's Grammy and Grampy watching the fireworks.

That's me with Mommy enjoying the show.

Even Uncle Rich was there too.

Another shot of Grandma and Grandpa watching the fireworks explode.

I had such a great time in Michigan. I'm already packing my bags for the next trip. See ya soon.

My Michigan Trip - Part III (Cookout with the Cousins)

While we were in Michigan we went up to Gladwin to visit my great grandmother. Then we all went to Beaverton for a cookout. My great aunt and uncle, and my cousins were there. We had lots of good food; juicy steaks and salads and some great desserts. I even got to eat some things that I never get to eat at home (thanks, Aunt Cinda).

I got to pretend ride in a neat cart, I splashed my feet in the pool, I played in the sandbox, and I even got to push the button on Virgil's fart noise maker. The best thing of all was visiting with my relatives that I don't get to see very often.

Check out the pictures.

Here are Arika and Anna in the pool.


The gang.


Ahh! There's nothing like being in Grammy's arms. Check out the corn growing in the background. It was really a neat place.


Hanging with Grampy and Grammy.


Aunt Sis let me eat the good stuff. Not to mention the Coors Light and the PBR (just kidding - they're my Dad's).



Check out my hanging spoon trick. Alex is real impressed.

A great trip down the slide.

Virgil, Grandma Great, and Uncle Don hanging by the pool.

Wow! I had lots of fun.

Here's my Grandma Great. She always makes me smile.

My great Aunt Cinda sure knows how to make me happy. Check out Virgil's Dr. Fart machine in my hand. That made me happy too.


It was a great night.


Here's my really cool ride in the cart. There are no pictures of Mitchell though. He's too fast to be caught by a camera.

Bye-bye for now. I'll post my first fireworks photos soon.
Love,
Lennon

Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers

Just a little reminder to stop and smell the flowers.
