A Summer of Holidays
Last month, our family celebrated four fun holidays!
First, there was Circus Day. I think Mommy made this one up, but it was so fun that it should be a real holiday. We read books about the circus, did crafts, and played circus games. During breakfast, Mommy played circus music on her phone and Daddy even started juggling. A few days later, Mommy and Daddy surprised us with a trip to a real circus. There was a huge tent, and inside was like another world! Next, we celebrated the best daddy in the world. We helped Mommy pick out some tools for barbecuing since Daddy just got a new grill in our backyard. We are really excited to make our own homemade pizzas and, of course, Daddy’s world- famous tacos and burgers. On the first day of summer, June 21, we learned the summer solstice is also the longest day of the year. Finn and I were both really excited to learn about the longest day because neither one of us like sleeping. Daddy said, “that’s what blackout shades are for,” whatever that means. We helped make a summer bucket list. It has tons of fun things on it like “eat watermelon,” “play in the sprinklers,” and “roast marsh-mallows.” The very next day, it was Finn’s birthday! He had a superhero party at this fun place called Pump It Up! Finn dressed like Ant- Man, and I wore a Wonder Woman costume. Pump It Up has rooms full of giant blow-up bounce houses and we spent all day bouncing. Lots of our family and friends came and we got to have cake, sing happy birthday, and eat yummy pizza. There are even more holidays to celebrate this summer. My daddy’s birthday is at the end of July. He’s turning 40, so he might be the oldest person in the world. And five days later, I’m turning 3!
