"That's Fourth of July, Kid!"

 Happy Independence Day!  A day to reflect on the fact that we all would have had way cooler accents, had we wimped out a couple hundred years ago.  Oh well.  I suppose freedom is worth more than an amazing, lilting, chick-magnet voice....
  Anyway, I took Mommy and Brother on an adventure today!  First I took them to the train playground, where we had a picnic on the caboose and Brother took Mama down her first big slide.  Then I led the pack downtown for some pizza and a parade, then out for a donut (or two), and eventually we wound up back at the train playground for some live music and a fireworks show.  Brother was fascinated by the "stars".  And best of all, Dada made it back from work just in time for the fireworks!  Highlight of the day.  Yes, even above picnicking on a train and seeing a parade and watching fireworks and eating donuts.  :)
