Busy July 4th Weekend Festivities!

It looks like I have trained mommy and daddy well!  Mommy used to really enjoy her quiet weekends sitting on the deck reading a book.  That is no more now that I'm around!  We have been doing all sorts of things and it is alot of fun!  I sure do sleep well at night, especially since I'm down to one nap a day and never stop moving when I'm up! 
This weekend, we celebrated the 4th a day early and went to grandma K's house.  All 7 doggies were there and there were all sorts of new toys for me to play with in the back yard.  I really enjoyed this tunnel that I could crawl through.  At first, I wasn't so sure but I figured if the doggie, Patch, could do it, then I could.  I did it one time and didn't want to stop!  Grandma K also brought out the bubbles which she quickly learned that my doggies are crazy with!  We all ran around trying to catch the bubbles but then I had my 1st collision with the doggie Maggie!  She was chasing a bubble and didn't see me so we collided but I'm a tough little girl and was up on my feet within minutes!  Daddy gave me a little TLC and I was back in action!   I was so tired when we got home that I slept through a lot of fireworks that were very close by!

Then on the 4th of July, mommy and daddy took me to the beach for the very first time!  It was a beautiful day so we decided to check out Woodlawn Beach by our house.  It was really nice but I wasn't a huge fan of the cold water.  I was a bit afraid which mommy thought was unusual for me!  I did enjoy saying hi to all the people and trying to walk over to their chairs and blankets!  Daddy even buried my feet in the sand!

Later in the day, we went to visit grandma & grandpa Christie.  I was quite a mischievous little girl and was into everything so we went to play in the back yard for a bit.  I really like the doggie, Ivan, but he wants no part of me!  When we were outside, he was laying there so I decided to take advantage of the moment and pet him.  He tried to inch further and further to safety but I still got to pet him!

And when you think my day couldn't get any busier, mommy and daddy took me for some icecream..well, I actually had sorbet since I'm not supposed to have icecream but it is sure tasty!  I really want to be a big girl and eat all by myself now so I made the attempt with my special treat.  Daddy didn't appreciate it too much since alot ended up on him but mommy thought it was pretty funny so that me made think it was funny!
