We went to Great-Grandma Rose's for a family get
together. I haven't seen a lot of those
people in a long, long time!
Mommy introduced me to The Monkees! I have become a huge fan! I love to listen to their music in the car
and can even sing along to a lot of it, and Mommy and I watch old episodes of
their show on her iPad. I have Monkee
Fever!
Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Six Flags (after getting my hair
cut). I had a blast there! I went right on the Log Flume with no
complaints and asked to go again. Since
it was on a cooler Wednesday right when they opened, the lines weren't too
long. We also got soaked on the Thunder
River! My favorite was the wave pool in
the water park. I loved pretending to be
a dolphin. Mommy had a hard time getting
me out of the water. Before riding the
Colossus (giant ferris wheel), I kept saying I didn't want to ride it, they
couldn't make me, and I was NOT going to get on it! Less than a minute into the ride, I asked if
we could ride it again! I also really
liked the Shazam! (like the Scrambler).
Mommy wished she could have recorded my screams and giggles to always
remember them! I had such a positive
attitude the whole day.
The next day was the St. Louis Zoo for the whole
family. I had such a good time, even
though I was exhausted from the day before!
I loved seeing my favorite, the elephants! I also got my first Build a Bear-an elephant
of course! I named him Cuddles and I
love to cuddle with him. The day wasn't
over when we got back home. We went out
to eat at Hu Hot and then went to Bonkers!
They were having an MU volleyball gathering. I got to meet some players, and ended up
winning an autographed shirt! I can't
wait for the season to start!
My friends and I had a pool party at Emma's house. We had so much fun, and I was so brave
swimming on the deep end with no problems!
Mommy took Emily and me to get her car serviced and we had a lot of fun
there.
We have continued with our play dates. We had two at Bella's, one at our house and
played in the sprinklers, and skipped the one at Brynn's to have a
sleepover. I was so excited, but ended
up having an on and off fever all week.
I had a really bad headache and ended up with a rash. I think I got it from my cousins at the
lake. Emily got the rash even worse than
I did, but my fever lasted much longer.
I was so disappointed to miss out on the sleepover.
I am now only using a booster seat in the car. I feel like a really big girl, although I do
miss the five point harness. I miss that
I can't "scrunch", plus that helped me not have to pee!
Our big vacation this summer was a trip to Beaver Lake in
Arkansas at Uncle Dave and Aunt Marge's house.
We celebrated Papa Rick's 70th birthday, and I got to meet two of my
uncles, Davey and Sammy! I loved Davey's
girlfriend Jordan and hung around her most of the time. We had a big celebration at a restaurant and
I was really sad when I couldn't sit next to her. I needed some time to calm down, and when I
came back, I was sitting next to her! It
was so much fun seeing everyone and playing in the lake with my cousins. I went inner-tubing, kayaking with Mommy, played
on a Lily Pad, and rode in a boat. On
the way back, I said, Aunt Lisa has 5 kids.
We need to catch up!" I read
my Rainbow Fairy chapter books most of the way there and back.
Before going to Arkansas, we dropped Twist off at the
vet. He got declawed while we were gone
and everyone there loved him! He did so
well, and I was really glad to have him back home. Unfortunately, Daddy had to go back to work
that day too. Mommy, Emily and I went to
the spray park and got ice cream one day, visited Mr. Kenny and went to the
Kids on Track finale another day (in between the fever.) We did get to go to Orange Leaf too!
Mommy is starting back at work, and I was able to go with
her two of the days to help. I really
like helping. We went out to McDonald's the first day and then to Lillian's
after. I got to play with the other
counselors' kids while they talked. I was supposed to go to Nana Arden's the
third day, but the principal asked if I would help dog-sit her daughter's dog
that morning at the school! I was so
excited and felt so important! She even
paid me, even though she didn't have to.
Emily started at Bruna's and I have been there a couple
times to help drop her off. It makes me
sad when she cries and I do miss her.
I spent a lot of time with Nana Arden this month too. I got my share of McDonald's again, went to
the mud room and Orange Leaf (yum!), and went swimming with my cousins. We went to the North Callaway Fall Sports
Kick-Off to watch volleyball and football.
I am nervous and excited about school starting. It's coming soon!
I am 6 1/2 Years Old!
I even made a new friend!
