4th of July Trip to Illinois!

We arrived late on Sunday night July 3rd and after sleeping in the next day, we went to the 4th of July parade in Sullivan. Here I am eating an ice pop with my Mommy.
Some parade action...
That night we went to a carnival and I played my very first game! I was good at it too. I had to pick 3 ducks and give them to the lady to win a prize. I wanted to keep picking up even more ducks, it was fun!
Here you go lady! (I think she was impressed with my skills)... I won a stuffed cow!
Almost time for fireworks! They didn't start until almost 10pm - way past my bedtime - but it's ok because I'm on vacation!
Happy 4th of July everyone!
The next day we got up and went to the Scoville Zoo. We saw lots of animals, rode a train and I even went on a carousel!
My first snow cone! YUM!
After our train ride...
My first carousel ride! I wasn't sure what to think of it... maybe it was the monkey I was riding. He kept going up and down and wouldn't stay still!
Are we almost finished?!
Nana & Papa don't know that I took this picture, but I must have really worn them out! Happy snoozing - I'm off to the park!
I loved this tunnel with all of the holes to peek through
Peek-a-boo!
Friday, July 8th - I'm 11 months old and Nana & Papa planned a party for me!
PRESENTS!! After I opened my presents, Nana made me a dress for my party and Mom got busy decorating my cake.
I love balloons!
Not too bad for a rookie!
I got so excited when I heard everyone sing my name!
Make a wish!
WHAT is this?!
I wasn't really into my cupcake... I think next time I'd rather have green beans!
Looking for my Papa outside...
There he is!
Family photo shoot. This only took about 6 tries and we got a good one!
On Saturday, we relaxed around the house and played in the backyard...
Lounging with my Mommy...
Mom decided to give me a bath in the pool since I was pretty dirty - she gave me a mohawk!
Sunday morning before heading off to St. Louis...
We went to the baseball game first and I got to see the St. Louis arch!
It's official: I'm HOT, pooped and worn out!
