On the 4th of July, I was in the Harbor Springs parade with all my dancing friends. It was really hot and it was a really long parade. We have renamed the 4th of July to The Day of Really Long Things. The parade started at one and I didn't come through until 230. Mimi, Papa, Bodie, and Mommy waited and waited and waited for me. Mommy and Papa were standing in the middle of an intersection where the parade route turns. Mimi and Bodie were about a 1/2 block down under an awning in the shade. Bodie was scared of the band. He said the drums were "mo-sters". He cried and cried.
Daddy was in the parade with me. He helped by carrying the banner.
Papa tried to get Bodie to smell the flowers in the window of the shop where he and Mimi were stealing the shade. He's asking papa, "dis one? Bode smell dis one?"
Bodie finally picked which flower he wanted to smell. He said, "Mmmmmm... Smellsch good!"
When we got home from the parade it was about 3. Mommy decided to put Bodie in bed for his nap so he would be fresh as a daisy when it was time for the fireworks. Except that he never woke up. He slept and slept until 715 the next morning. This was another of the really long things that happened to make us change the name of the day. I was able to stay up for the fireworks. They were great! Mommy stayed home with Sleeping Bodie. It's really good that he slept through them since loud noises scare him.
