Katie and I participated in our home town's Kiddie Parade on the Fourth of July. When we got to the end of the route, we kicked back with Daddy and Monkey to take in the "official" parade.
There were lot's of fire trucks, tractors, politicians, and corny floats. Katie had a really good time pointing and dancing. She had such a good time that she ended up falling asleep on our walk home and then decided not to take a nap later in the afternoon. That kinda put the kibosh on our firework viewing plans, as she got a wee bit cranky at about 8pm that night. Oh well. There's always next year.

Come back here, fire truck!
We didn't do much on Saturday. Katie and I went out to do some shopping in the morning, while Huzbend went out for a training ride. After the longest Katie-Nap EVER (4 hours), the afternoon was spent eating at a restaurant and running around a playground.
That night during bathtime, Huzbend and I had our first bathtub poopy experience. Yeah. It was pretty gross. Luckily, I was the one giving the bath. I had to take Katie into the shower while Huzbend had to clean the tub and toys. Katie was pretty upset that her toys were floating in water that had yucky poopy in it. She cried.
There was one good thing that came out of it though. While we were trying to figure out what to do, we sat Katie down on her potty. I guess she wasn't done yet, because she pooped in her potty.
Sunday, we took a trip to a beach. But, first we had to hike there. Hiking with a toddler is, uh, challenging......
Katie takes a water break.
Note: We had only been walking 5 minutes.

I don't know.
She just calls it that.
Let's see if you can guess.
What's wrong with this picture????
Wheeeeee!
"Wha's dis stuff?"
And now, the weekend is over. Katie's shoes are STILL completely soaked and so it was going to be a relaxing "Day At Home".
I decided to break out the art supplies. These pictures speak for themselves.
