Happy 4th of July!

Since Parma hasn't had fireworks the past few years, we decided to finally go and see some somewhere else. We went to Independence on July 3 with my sister and her family. We had a good time. Avery didn't seem to mind the fireworks. Then we went to my sister's annual 4th of July party the next day.  On July 5 some friends of mine from high school had a picnic and then July 6, Avery and I went to the zoo with my friend Karen who lives in South Carolina. We had a busy holiday weekend!

Hanging out with my cousins before the fireworks

We got to feed the giraffes. They are huge when they are close up!!

Taking a pic with Karen and Mommy and then I realized a crazy looking guy decided to join our pic

Mommy and I (and the crazy guy)

My puppies like to stay right under the high chair when I eat, probably because I like to throw food to them.

Mommy put me to work the other day. She made me dust

 Doesn't the US have some kind of child labor laws?

I received a water table from Grandma and Grandpa B for my birthday. They gave it to me early so I can enjoy it the rest of this summer.

I had a lot of fun playing with Daddy and the water table

 I love playing with water

Check out my cute sandals. These were hand me downs from someone but I can't remember who. Thank you though!

I love the water table!
