I would like to say I can see the future, but in reality I knew that it would happen before the end of the month. I pretty much had it figured out last week, but the stars never aligned. Either my timing would be off, a toy would get in the way or someone would interrupt my concentration. Last week it was announced that I was on the verge of rolling over. Well last week, as a special birthday present to Dad, I made it happen--of course neither Mom or Dad saw the first roll. I could see the disappointment in their eyes, so now I roll over every chance I get. They get the biggest kick out of watching me do it. I haven't quite figured out how to roll back yet, so I just cry until someone puts me back on my back so I can roll over again.
Last Thursday was Dad's 30th birthday. Mom and I had a great time celebrating with him out on the boat. The water was choppy from the wind, which made it perfect for taking a nap. I wanted to show Dad this restaurant on the other side of the lake I had been to a couple of times called the Alpen Horn. He had never been before and I know how much he loves burgers and shakes so I thought it would be the perfect birthday lunch spot. He loved it. After lunch we went to the middle of the lake and just floated for an hour or so. I brought my peapod so I could nap. Dinner, dessert and presents with the roommates and I'd say Dad had a pretty good birthday party. The next morning the rumor was that Dad and Burke even beat Mom and Jennifer in Nertz!
There was a big storm in Chelan last week and Mom says those types of storms happen all the time in Tucson during the summer. We saw lightening, heard thunder and could see the down pour of rain all across and around the lake. The lightening was unbelievable. It got a little scary because a couple wild fires started. One was so close we could see the glow of the flames. Fortunately the fire fighters (including a helicopter with a giant bucket) put the fires out before they could get out of control.
Another month gone. This month I'm looking forward to Uncle Roy's wedding, Mom's birthday, seeing Cousin Camden and meeting Cousin Ashton--oh yeah and I haven't forgotten that Dad promised I could do some life guarding as well. It is going to be a great August.
Look Mom, one hand!!
I suggest always traveling with a place to sleep. You never know when you will need to take a nap.
Mom and I can never get too many kisses from Dad.
It was a wild and crazy night!
