My Exciting Summer
So today is finally Friday Story Time by Lia! I’ve had such an exciting summer from the July Ultimate Blog Challenge until now.
Here is my time line:
Mommy and I flew to Indiana to visit my uncle in mid July. It was exciting to fly in a airplane again and see the clouds and tiny buildings as I looked out the window. Zac was waiting to pick us up in Indianapolis and drive to his new shop in Lafayette. http://themarthareview.com/visiting-uncle-zac-in-indiana/
The day after we arrived back home, I had my 4K graduation. When I started 4K I wasn’t sure what I would be doing but I had fun meeting my new friends and learning! http://themarthareview.com/my-4k-graduation-day/
Two weeks later I was flower girl in my Aunt Jasmine’s wedding. I’ve never been in a wedding before and I was so excited and a little nervous as the day got closer. But what a super time I had! http://themarthareview.com/wedding-day/
10 days after the wedding I started Kindergarten and two days later I turned FIVE YEARS OLD!! I love Kindergarten and my teacher is the best! I’m leader of my class and I like to help the other kids. If we earn 10 points a week we get to pick a prize from the prize closet. I have a few friends from my 4K class AND I met a new boy in my class who lives in the same sub-division as I do! I got 20 points in a week so was able to pick two prizes. http://themarthareview.com/happy-5th-birthday-to-lia/
I had party after party when I turned five years old! My first birthday adventure was going to the Jurassic Quest Dinosaur exhibit. I love dinosaurs and it was so much fun seeing how huge they were! Then I dug up dinosaur bones and picked through the fossil to find tiny bones.
For my next surprise I went to Build-a-Bear like I’ve done every year and picked out two bears to stuff and dress.
I love crab legs and was so excited when mommy, ma and pop surprised me at an all you can eat buffet with crab legs! I had corn dogs, mac and cheese plus three plates of crab legs! After dinner all the staff from the restaurant came out with a cupcake singing happy birthday to me! Silly mommy put frosting on my nose!
My big party was at the Fun Warehouse with all kinds of jumping, slides, inflatables and so much more. We went roller skating, drove race cars and played laser tag.
I jumped across big inflatable balls to get to the other end and made it all the way! I wasn’t as easy as it looks but it sure was fun to get to the other side without falling off.
My friend Layla’s birthday is in July and we have been to each other’s parties every year since our first birthdays! My mommy and Layla’s mommy have been friends since they were 7 years old!
I was so busy all summer and it went by so quickly. Now I’m enjoying Kindergarten and love helping the other kids and the teacher. Stay tuned for next Friday Story Time by Lia to read about my finale of Lia’s Sunshine Bakery Alzheimer’s Fundraiser.
Absolutely heartwarming to read Lia’s travel journey on her exciting summer holidays to visit family in Indianapolis, weddings, with photos and video. Thank you for sharing this with us all Martha. And give my regards to Lia please!
Thanks Alice! Lia was one busy little girl this summer and so beautiful in the wedding!
I remember some of your activities during this summer. You had so many wonderful experiences!
If I could go back to being a child I would definitely love to build my own bear 🐻
Lia has been building bears every year on her birthday Tamara and then some. I think she must have about a dozen of them!
Wow, Lia you had a busy summer for sure. Happy Birthday, Sunshine. May all your dreams come true.
We are so behind in replying to comments Brenda! But Lil’ Sunshine says thank you! Time sure goes by quickly.
Martha, what a great summer of adventures for Lia! She is very blessed.
Thank Kebba, Lia is one lucky little girl and blessed. But she shares her blessings and compassion to everyone around her.
Lia is such a good story teller. I hope to hear more from her in the future.
I’m sure you will Kate! LOL Now that Lia is in Kindergarten she doesn’t have as much “free time” but she still get’s things done!
Lia, you are an angel!! I loved watching your video – it looked like you were having so much fun. And what a great birthday celebration you had. And it sounds like your summer *was* exciting!
Lia says, Thanks Jeanine! She had an awesome 4K year and and awesome summer. Hard to believe she is already five years old!
Looks like you had fun.
