Bongo Clap

On Friday I'm going to be performing in my camp's talent show. This is what I'm playing. I'm a little bit nervous but it will be great!

Happy 4th of July!

While we were in Texas we went to the fireworks with my cousins Cason and Bryce. They had lots of games and things for kids to do. Cason and I couldn't wait to find something fun to do!

While we were there I saw Uncle Same...the other Uncle Sam. He was so tall!
Bryce and I colored our own sunglasses.
Then, it was time to sit on our blanket and get ready to watch the fireworks. I took my new DS and taught Bryce how to play. He did really good and got some outs!
We also had some glow sticks. We all made necklaces and bracelets.
I was so excited to see the fireworks! I loved all the colors and I can't wait to watch fireworks again.

YEE HAW!

When we got to Texas we rented a car. The only thing they had was this HUGE car. It was fun to ride in. I sat all the way in the back. I felt like I was riding in a bus!

When we got our car we went to the Stockyards in Forth Worth. This is where all the cowboys are. Me and my dad tried on some big cowboy hats.
I got to sit on a Texas Longhorn. It was so big!

We saw an old time jail. This is what they used to have back in the olden days.

Dad and I went through a maze. We got a timecard and had to get the time stamped on it when we started the maze. Then, we had to find four letters in the maze. Once we found the M-A-Z-E we had to find our way out and stamp our time on the card to see how fast we went.
We got lost in the maze...A LOT!
Here we are punching our card after we found a letter.

We FINALLY made it out of the maze! It took me and Dad 25 minutes to find all the letters and the way out.

We even got to see a cattle drive. That is where they take a whole bunch of longhorns and they walk down the street. You have to be very careful that you don't get poked by their horns.

I got to meet a cowboy. After I talked with him we saw him and his friends have a gunfight.

The sheriff and the deputy were talking and then some bad guys came.

Then, the had a gunfight. I wasn't scared...it was just pretend.
I was so tired on the way back to our hotel.
We had a lot of fun at the stockyards.

Choo! Choo!

On Saturday we got on the train and went to Texas for the 4th of July. I was so excited to ride the train! It was my first time ever! The train station was really fun - there were lots of old buildings to look at.

I couldn't wait to get on the train.
While we waited to get on I ate some breakfast.
Ahhh...plenty of room to stretch out and relax on the train.
I also was also able to do some work on the train.
I hope we can go on the train again. It was so much fun.
