Happy Birthday, America!

Today was the 4th of July. As usual, Mommy put me in a holiday outfit. At least this time, I wasn't alone. Mommy and Daddy wore their special t-shirts, too!

We had a lot of friends over for a BBQ and to light things called sparklers. Mommy tried to put me to bed, and I did fall asleep, but then these really loud booming noises woke me up. Mommy and Daddy decided that since it was a holiday, I could stay up late. They bundled me up in my monkey blanket and took me outside so I could see that the booming noises weren't at all scary. I was still a little unsure, so Daddy kept me close.

I still am not sure that I like fireworks, but I do like getting to stay up late with my parents!
