ahhhh! wallymelon!

We had a cookout yesterday, and my grandpa and grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins came to celebrate the 4th of July. Best of all, Tad and Fig came! We were outside playing when I spotted an interesting green object. Was it a ball? A boat? I asked Figgy to come and take a look. With one glance, she knew what it was: a wallymelon! And we got some! Hannah made us take turns eating it, and Figgy got to go first cause she's the oldest. Tad and Fig have better manners than me. When Hannah said "sit", they held real still and didn't move. I can't do that yet. We had to go in the house to eat more, but I don't know why. Tad got some next. And finally, it was my turn. The wallymelon was just as scrumptious as it was the last time I ate it!

Leah left the party early because she had to work. After a few hours, the rest of the girls decided to go visit her because they could walk to where she works. Since it was the 4th of July, they dressed up in patriotic clothes. When I saw them, I didn't even ask to go along. Just because they were dressed in red, white and blue, I didn't think they looked patriotic. Leah took it all in stride, though, and wasn't mortified like Hannah said she would be.

All of this happened without the aid of any alcoholic beverage. So now you know what kind of a weird family I live with. Was your 4th of July this strange?
