We had a great end to our summer here in Nashville. Over the past couple of months we have been very busy going swimming, playing outdoors, and traveling.
Grandpa Steve came to visit in July and he and Mama spent a day of celebrating him for Father's Day. We all went to Roswell to stay with my cousins and I got to go to my first major league baseball game. It was steamy HOT at the ballgame and the Cubbies beat the Braves so my first game was fabulous!
Another first for me - Mommy took me to the Williamson County Fair. I had such a great time riding the rides and playing games at the carnival. One of my favorites was the fun house and I can't wait to go to an amusement park someday soon.
We made a trip back to Iowa at the beginning of August and had so much fun with our family. We stayed with Aunt Stephie, Uncle Steve, and Cousins Amy and Grant. We stayed down at their camper, spent a night at Fun City, and swam in their pool. We also got to go on a few boat rides with Grandpa Steve while we were visiting. Grandma Susie and I had lots of fun swimming and just being silly.
Over the Labor Day weekend we made a trip to Roswell to stay with more family. I had so much fun with my cousins - we went to their swimming pools and watched fireworks while we were there. We also celebrated Uncle Shae's 38th birthday with yummy compost cupcakes that Aunt Lisette made.
We traveled back to Iowa with Uncle Shae and Leo in mid-September to celebrate Papa Jim's life. He had been very sick and is now up in heaven with no more pain. We stayed through the weekend and celebrated Grandma Susie's birthday at Happy Joe's - Leo and I had so much fun playing games and got to pick out some really cool prizes.
Please enjoy some pictures from all of our adventures over the past few months! Happy Fall and stay safe!
Love,
Mav

One night after Mama put me to bed I put lots of powder and lotion in my hair, I sure did smell good but was told that probably wasn't a very good idea
