Happy In-nee-pen-ence Day everyone!!
Yes, I know it was really 3 days ago, but let me tell you why I didn't get to write about the day sooner...
On In-nee-pen-ence Day Daddy doesn't have to go to work. Instead, he took us to a place where they had lots of tables set up with lots of things to look at. Daddy told me that people could buy those things if they wanted to. But we didn't. We just looked. Boy!! was there a lot to look at! And I'm not just talking about what was on the tables...there were people everywhere...and dogs...and cars...and police officers...and cars...and balloons...and cars...and big bouncy slides...and cars...and a trash truck.
When we were done walking around there, we got back in the car and went to a restaurant for lunch. Mama said it was a Chinese restaurant. The food was pretty good...Daddy even gave me some salmon to try...but did you know they have fruit at the Chinese resaurant??!?! Lots and lots of it!
Later, after I got up from my nap, we ate some supper and got back into the car. We drove for a while and then had to sit in the car for a while cause it was raining and Daddy said that it wasn't time yet. I don't like waiting.
Finally Daddy said that it was time to get out. It wasn't raining then and I got to chase some bubbles that another little girl was blowing. It did start raining again...just a little bit...but Daddy had his umbrella. (Did you ever watch an umbrella pop open? You should try it sometime...it's FUN!!)
Daddy said we were going to watch fireworks. And they soon started. BOOM!!! BOOM!!! Fireworks are FUN!!!!!!! At the end Mama said we should all clap and yell if we liked the fireworks...so I did! I think fireworks are FUN!!!
Poor An-dew! He didn't like the fireworks as much as I did...he cried! (Mama said he was tired and hungry too.) Sorry, An-dew. Maybe you'll like them better next year.
A busy day like that doesn't leave much time for writing stories on the computer!
So what did you do for In-nee-pen-ence Day? Leave me a comment and Mama will help me read it.

Hi Jonathan:
Sounds as though you had a great time on In-nee-pen-ence Day (I reckon I'm gonna have to learn to spell all over again!).
An-dew will probably like the fireworks better, next year.
Grandma Swaim and I went to see fireworks also, at the Lions Park, here in Walnut Cove. But they were set off on the Saturday before the Fourth. They sure were noisy, but very pretty.
On the Fourth, we went to your Aunt Renae and Uncle Everette's house for Supper. MeMa Jordan went with us. In fact, she stayed overnight with us, on Thursday night. We had a good time, and stuffed ourselves with Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and (homemade--Grandmother Swaim's) Chocolate Pound Cake and Ice Cream. Uhmmm uhmmm...sure was good!
We are excited about you coming to see us, in September. Bring An-dew with you...and, oh yeah, let mom and dad ride along with you. We look forward to seeing you all (that's fancy for Southern talk, "Yall").
Love you. Keep shaking hands with church folks, and learning about God and Jesus. He loves you most of all, and died to save you. Grandma and I look forward to the day when you know all about that, and trust Him as your Lord and Saviour.
Bye,
Grandpa Swaim
