Summer Kick-Off

Today was my first official day of summer vacation! I’m still going to go to school but only part time again like last summer (Wednesdays and Thursdays). Let me tell you, we started it off with a bang!

To get our bellies full for the jam packed day ahead, we hit Burger King for some hash-browns and milk. We pointed the Mommy-Mobile in the direction of Lafayette and never looked back. We first hit Meijer to pick up the summertime necessities…sunblock, sprinkler head, inflatable pool, and lip gloss. So the lip gloss isn’t a necessity, but it tastes like strawberries…YUM! A quick stop at the Dollar Tree to grab some “this is what we will do if it rains while we’re at Mema’s” crafts and then to the Igloo to get some drinky drinks for Mema, TC, Mommy and me.

Shortly after arriving at Mema’s house, I was in my bikini and lathered in sunblock for some fun in the sun. TC filled my flower-shaped pool with water and I was ready for some tan lines! Needless to say, I spent more time running back and forth between Mommy and Mema and pool then actually any extended time in the water, but that was okay. I had lots of fun splashing around.

After about an hour, I decided I wanted to watch TV for a little bit before it was time to hit the dentist. Coincidentally enough, Mommy and Mema had scheduled their appts. back to back without even knowing it. In the ten minute trip to get there, I fell asleep in the back seat. All that fun in the sun wore me out!

Mema got her chompers cleaned and then the Momma. Fast forward to this phrase, “Well since she is already here, do you want me to try and clean her (MY!!) teeth today?”
“Uh, sure…,” said a hesitant Mommy. No sweat Mama! I hopped right up in that big ole’ chair, opened wide, and let the nice lady with the funny tools go to town in my mouth. I even picked out my fluoride flavor…banana! When I was finished, I got lots of prizes for doing such an awesome job…a pencil, a sticker, a new toothbrush, AND a stick foot toy!! All that for just saying, “ahhh.” I can’t wait to go back to the dentist!

In celebration, I painted a nice stained-plastic window catcher for Mema, and I hit the pool one last time before falling asleep in the car on the way home to see my daddy. Wow! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for my second day of summer vacation!
