On Monday, Mommy came to school and taught my class how to make pie!

Pies!

My pie!

On Tuesday we went to see Emily for occupational therapy.

Waiting to see Emily.

Ready for...just about anything!

On Wednesday I was stopped by a police officer and I got a ticket - for a free ice cream cone! Hooray! And I went with Daddy to get my haircut.

The best kind of ice cream: FREE ice cream!

Pelly came over to bake some treats with Mommy and we did some dancing.

Thursday night we went to Josh and Kara's and Michael helped me build my new space shuttle set.

Kara and Josh had a big box that became my spaceship....

On Friday we went with Kara, Josh, and Freya to a zoo and amusement park. We saw some animals and went on some rides.

Driving for the first time.

After the zoo and the rides, I took a nap and then we played in the tent Josh set up in the backyard. Me and Mommy and Daddy also slept in the tent, despite all the noise from early, unofficial fireworks displays.

Asleep in the tent.

Saturday we had breakfast, then went out to see some things and do some shopping.

After our outing, we played at the house in the spaceship and in the pool.

Back in the spaceship.

And finally on Sunday we went to another amusement park and I am finally tall enough to ride the roller coaster! So I went on it with Daddy - it was so much fun! We went through a tunnel and it was really fast and I want to go again and again and again.

We stopped at Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's to pick up Duke, and made a side trip to see Great-grandma Dorothy.

Those were the highlights. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. Take care!
