Does the Fun Ever End?

I don't want the fun to end, but I am beginning to wonder if it really ever does! It has been a bit since I've updated you on what is happening here, so this may be a multi-post day because I am just sure I could never get EVERYTHING into one post!

Let me begin by telling you that I had a really great July 4th weekend! On Friday morning, the 3rd, Grandpa Dave and Grandma Donna came to our house pretty early and we all packed up the car and headed out of town. I said, "Ball Game," all day because my parents let it slip that we were going to one!!!
We drove to KY and found the hotel we'd be staying at overnight. That is right, two weekends in a row I stayed in a hotel. We checked in, we found our rooms and I was super excited that our room and grandma's room were joined together by a door that I found very easy to open! A quick bite to eat at Big Boy's was next on our agenda. I was really too excited to eat a ton, but I did have some mac and cheese. Then it was back to the hotel for a quick nap before heading to the game.
I put on my Reds shirt and a hat and was ready to go! We all rode a bus across the big bridge to the ball park! I walked most of the way with a little help from daddy and Grandpa Dave when my legs were tired. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when we got there, but I soon realized it was MOST FUN! First I got to jump in a bounce house...I knew NO FEAR. Then I got to pet tons of animals that were visiting from the Cincinnati Zoo....I knew NO FEAR (I am talking snakes and weird looking lizards!!!). Then I got to watch some guys singing and dancing on a stage and I really wanted to join them...I knew NO FEAR.
Eventually I made it to my seat and was ready to see the game. We sang the National Anthem and I saw an eagle land on the field. I was quite taken with the little girl sitting behind me. She played with me several times throughout the night. I was also quite taken by the Dip n' Dots Grandpa Dave got me! I soon discovered that the ball park is an excellent place to eat! Nachos, popcorn, ice cream...you name it and they have got it!!! The jumbo-tron was also a big hit! They show all kinds of stuff on that thing...including many people dancing during the breaks! I really enjoyed that.
You aren't going to believe this, but in a game with nine innings, I only got out of our seats once to stretch my legs!! Nobody could believe how I stayed in our seats like a big girl. I mean, there were adults there that couldn't sit still as long as I did!!! And after the game I stayed in my seats another 15 minutes to wait for the big fireworks show.
I really enjoyed the fireworks!! I made sure mommy and daddy and Grandpa Dave and Grandma Donna all clapped their hands to the music as we watched the fireworks. The big booms didn't scare me and I found myself dancing along several times! It was just So MUCH FUN!
After the game I perched on daddy's shoulders and we headed back to the bus in a sea of people! I had another fabulous bus ride and then headed to the hotel, where we enjoyed some White Castles before bed! Don't even ask me what time I went to bed that night because you wouldn't believe me if I told you... and you certainly wouldn't believe the good mood I stayed in even though it was that late!
Saturday morning we had breakfast in our room and then started back home. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch and I had roast beef (loved it)! Then it was back in the car for the rest of the trip! There was so much to see that I didn't even take a nap while we were driving.
Saturday, after we got home and rested for just a few minutes, me and mommy and daddy headed to Granny Conner's house for July 4th. I got to see my Uncle Tim and Aunt Cince, who live far away so I don't see them all the time. I played shy for about 2 seconds and then was back to my usual charming self! We had great food and talked about going to fireworks again!
Mommy thought we probably wouldn't do fireworks because I'd already had a big weekend, but after she saw what a trooper I was being we decided to go after all. I got to see fireworks two nights in a row!!! However, I was really afraid of falling asleep so I made sure to run around most of the time Saturday night while they were booming in the air!
The beginning of last week was great, too! I wish I could remember everything I have done, but let me just tell you that it has all been exciting. I don't want to forget to let you know that I had my first sleep over in Marion Friday night!!! Grandma Donna picked me up after she got off work and we headed off for our adventure. A simple, "bye," and a couple of kisses to my parents and I was out the door! AND I did a wonderful job, yet again! I slept good that night after playing full-steam with Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave. I didn't even move a muscle for about 12 hours!!! We had a great morning together and then I joined mommy and daddy at the church for VBS Kickoff Day.
Let me just say this about Kickoff Day. I partied hard for an almost 2 year old! I went in the bounce house and jumped and jumped and jumped! Then I even got to do the 75 foot obstacle course that all the big kids and adults were doing! AND at the end there is a HUGE slide that I went down all by myself and was all smiles at the end of it!! I got to do the obstacle course a couple of times with the help of daddy!
This week has been super busy with VBS every night. Me and mommy have been hanging out during the day and then heading over before dinner time. My class has been great! We even get to play in the gym every night after we eat!!!
Like I said at the beginning of this post, the fun never seems to end! I am loving it...well, all except the guys working outside my window today that aren't letting me sleep. They are trying to fix something on the building and they are one noisy bunch...but other than that I cannot complain!!!
I have lots of pictures to show, so I'm going to post them in a whole different post for you to see!
