4 Years, 5 Months...Summer Fun!

We've been doing so many things this summer!  On the second last night of swimming lessons, I decided to put my face in the water.  I loved it so much, my teacher couldn't get me to stop!  Needless to say, I passed and will start the next level next month.  I decided I didn't want to continue with gymnastics because I was scared to flip on the high bar.  We had several visitors-Jill and Crosley, the Kosher family, and Lillian and Grayson.  Too bad we were having too much fun that mommy forgot to take pictures!  I went to Aunt Mary and Uncle Duane's house and got to pet horses and ride a 4-wheeler.  Next time, I get to ride the horses!  We also went to mommy's cousin's get together and had so much fun!  I got to show off my swimming skills and I got to drive a mini car, right into the woods!  We also went to a couple of baby showers.
I also visited the dentist's office for the second time and I was a great patient.  I got to get something out of the prize drawer!  I got brave and climbed the fence to our garden.  When I was getting out, I slipped and fell backward in the garden.  I hit my head really hard on the wood beams, and scratched up my wrist and knee pretty bad.  I fell on the concrete during a walk the next day!  Mommy and Daddy took me to Bonkers and I had fun playing the games and did some climbing there.  We went to Nana Arden's for the 4th of July, and then got to see lots of fireworks right outside our house!
The next week, we took a trip to Arkansas and visited mommy's friend Stacey (and Ryan and Jaxson and baby Harrison) and daddy's Aunt Marge and Uncle Dave.  I had so much fun with Jaxson.  We became instant friends!  We got to swim in the lake at Aunt Marge and Uncle Dave's house.  I even jumped off the dock once, but got water up my nose.  Then, Papa Ron and Nana Carol came to celebrate mommy's birthday. 
A couple of funny things I have said, "I am looking for toasters on the tree." (Toasters=dried up sap).  "Can I have one of those Punch Canadians?", asking for a Hawaiian Punch popsicle.  Can't wait to tell you about next month!
