4th of July!

There I was at story time last Friday, when . . .
GASP . . .
the sun came out!!
Everyone squinted up at it and started exclaiming about how bright it was.
Tami said, “Shhhhhh . . .
“you’ll scare it away!”
But we didn’t.
There was plenty of sun to have a fourth of July parade. Look how cool everyone’s bikes were
Those patriotic campers of mine went through the park in a blur of red, white and blue . . . tooting their whistles . . . streamers blowing in the breeze! It was soooo cool!
Debbie and Bryant also had some All-American relay races on the playing field, made noisemakers at Arts and Crafts, had a seed spitting competition and played with the water balloon slingshot.
It rained a little Saturday afternoon, so our hayride was canceled. But I still visited with my little campers while Debbie put tattoos on everyone. Everyone except me, that is. Sigh. Tattoos don’t stick to fur so well, I guess.
On Sunday, I brought one of my favorite books to Story Time
Mouse Was Mad, by Linda Urban. Everyone loved it! A couple of my camping friends, Hunter and Amy, brought one of their favorite books too, When You Give a Moose a Muffin! Bryant made some Moose Feed (yummmmmm) and we nibbled on that while he read to us.
Later that afternoon, Bryant had the kids design their own Fourth of July pizzas.
Aren’t they all awesome? I can’t choose a favorite . . .
On Sunday night, BJ Hickman magically appeared to perform for us. He was soooo funny. Did you know he has a magical mouse? And a magical clown? And he can make a necklace disappear?
He tried to show us how to do some of his magic tricks . . .
I’ve been practicing that ring trick every night . . . but I still don’t get it.
oh, Oh OH! You know what?
Tami talked to Santa yesterday.
He’s coming all the way from the North Pole to our Christmas Party Saturday night! I’m such a lucky moose to get Christmas twice a year. But Tami tells me, that I have to be twice as good too.
I try. I really, really try.
Our camping friends, the Spencer’s, have a sign on their site that counts down the days. I looked three times today, but it says the same thing every time.
