Hi everyone! In school we learned that it’s summer right now, which means it is very hot outside and you do summertime activities like play in the water and have bbqs. So far my summer’s been pretty busy, but it’s been very fun! I’m in summer school through the end of the month, which is neat because I really like school. In my spare time, I’ve been traveling all over the place! (And I let my mom and dad and baby brother come along). I’ve been to the California State Railroad Museum up in Old Town Sacramento, visited Fairyland (like a miniature Disneyland over by Lake Merritt - so fun!), gone to the park a bunch of times, and even went to a big movie outside in San Francisco one night! (It was a grownup movie, called something like “Cats Blankie”, it was black and white and not the most interesting movie but there was still lots of cool stuff to see outside). Best of all? A couple of days ago it was the 4th of July, and that was super fun! In the morning before it got too hot, my mom took me and Sutter over to the pool at my aunties’ complex - I love playing in the water! I floated in an inner tube and the grownups took turns helping me ’swim’ and kick my legs in the pool! (Mommy says I can take swim lessons very soon - looking forward to it!). Then, that night we went over the park and I got to go on the playground with Daddy, and then we ate ice cream (Yum!) and grapes (double yum!) and then while Sutter tried to fall asleep with Daddy, Mommy and Pammy and my aunties went down to the bandstand with me and we got to listen to LIVE MUSIC! So cool! There was a drummer and a guy playing the saxaphone and a guy playing the guitar and a lady singing and there were all these older girls (like 5 or 6 years old!) dancing in the front. It looked really fun, so I went up and danced for a long time too! I like to shake my groove thing - I like to move it, move it!  Oh yeah, and afterwards there were fireworks.

Try to stay cool this weekend - it’s hot outside!
