Steph & Al/Independence Day/pet-sitting

Happy Independence Day! We didn't get any fireworks, but I wish we could have... :(

As I said in my last post, Stephanie, Allison, and their parents came over for a cook out. When they first got here, I don't remember what we did. LOL. we like.. Um.. AHH! H/o. Lemme think....

Well... I'm not sure what the first thing we did was, but we did go swimming in the lake, and that was fun! We got this blue floaty mat thingie, and we were trying to all get on that, but we flipped a lot. That was a lot of fun. And Luke would throw the life saver thingie out in the water, and one of us would hold on to it, while he pulled us in real fast. That was fun. Me and Mitch (my friend I talked about a few posts ago) do that too when she comes over.

After we swam, we all took showers. OO! I remember now! I think the first thing we did was play go fish. I won last!. LOL. Instead of saying I lost, I always say I won last. Anywhoo.. I think Luke or Steph won first. Not sure.

Anywhoo.. after I took a shower, I had to go to our neighbors house on the otherside of the loop, and let their Dachsaund out to go to the restroom. Then when I came back here, Luke and Steph were playing Battle Ship, and Al was watching. After Steph won that game, I lost to a game of that with Al.

Then we all ate hamburgers and steak. The adults ate at the table, and us kids ate outside on the porch. I put Bailey in her kennel, cause she would have come in the kitchen trying to get the food. I had to tie Ranger up too, since we were eating outside. But Amy was fine. Didn't have to put her up. :)

After that, we went upstairs, and played a game of 9 ball (pool). I don't know who won. I think Luke did. By that time, it was almost dark, and we wanted to play hide 'n go seek outside. But unfortunately, it was time for Steph, Al, and their parents to go home. :( So we all said goodbye. I hope we get to see 'em again soon!

Tonight, the last time I had to go let the neighbors dog out, we went in, and couldn't find Dolly (the dog) anywhere. Me and my mom finally found her under one of the beds. We got her to come out, but she was shaking. She was REALLY scared of the fireworks that were going off outside! When I took her outside, and set her down, she ran back to the door. We couldn't get her to go to the bathroom. So we took her inside, and held her in our laps on the couch. Mom and I had to go, but it was soo hard, because when we started walking towards the door, she starting whining in a scared way. I was like, 'aww! We can't leave her!!. Mom said that if we didn't have Bailey at our house, then she would have called Dolley's owner and asked if Dolley could stay at our house tonight. But Bailey would probably scare Dolley more than the fireworks would!!

Well, I guess that's all for now, so TTYL!

P.S. I remember the first thing we did! Luke took us driving around. It was fun! There was only three seats, but four of us. :D so we broke the law there. And we broke it in another way... : Luke is supposed to have only one family member and one friend. Or maybe it's only one other person.. I can't remember, but he had one family member and two friends!!

We are bad!!
