Uncle Shan and Aunt Sherry invited us for a house party. There was another baby in the party, a girl called Olivia born 5 days later than I was. This was the first time I met someone younger than me. I also met Alex who is over 2 years old. Uncle Shan's backyard is beautiful !

Dad has started his holiday weekend. We are going to have a lot of fun. Today we visited the Dinosaur Park where many footprints were found.
We also waited long hours for the firework by the Connecticut River. But when it started I was scared and we left early.
