This was a odd starting day.  Barbara overslept, but as soon as Mommy woke her up, she jumped into action and managed to get me to school on time with two minutes to spare.  Barbara does not like to be late for anything.  Oh, Mimz did not have me this morning because she had jury duty.

It was another splash day at school and we got another bowl of vanilla ice cream.  I'm going to miss this part of summer when real school starts in a few weeks.  Barbara took me straight from school to my swim lesson with Miss Sherrie.  I am making slow progress.  After my lesson we needed to do some grocery shopping at Walmart.  It was so hot outside, we decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream cone at old McDonald's and a cookie from the bakery.  After two trips to the restroom, and browsing the toys, we finally finished our shopping.  I ended up getting some Cheetos, chocolate pudding, and a water balloon bump. It ended up being after 3pm before we got home.

GGM can't play with me at all today... part of my punishment for bad behavior yesterday.  Barbara and I tried to use the new water balloon pump, but we had a problem getting it to work right.  Barbara and my great grandparents will have to practice using it.  If we can't get it to work we will take it back to Walmart.

Mr. Brad started working outside, and of course, I had to ask him if I could help me.  He said, "Teamwork, buddy.  I can always use your help."  

We played/worked in the dirt in his flower beds.  When we finished we decided to go for a bike ride, but first we had to do some work on my bike.  The chain fell off for the second time in a past two days.  Mr. Brad put the chain back on and tightened something to keep the chain in place.  He raised my seat because it was way to low for me.  He put air in my tires and he fixed the chin strap on my helmet.  THEN we were ready to ride.  We first rode around our dead-end street, then we rode down to the circle and back.  Each time a car was going past, we pulled over to the curb and stopped until the car had past.  We were doing so well, we rode around the small block two times.  I can't wait to do that again.

Mommy had a headache, so she went straight home for a nap.  I ate dinner and played in the bathtub for a long time.  Mommy came to get me around 7:30pm.
