At Mount Rushmore!!

Ok so I am so sorry that I have not posted for at least a month.I have some pictures on the way from the big show we did at the school and from my stay in Virginia Beach. Our camera card froze up and now I have to get some program to retrieve the images. Yah...I thought the same thing"What the....they can freeze up?" Be aware they can and they do so always download your picture. Anyways, we went to a National Monument for the 3rd of July because thats when they were having there fireworks show. We showed up 6 Hours before the show was suppose to began and let me just tell you, if you are ever thinking of doing this...
don't...just go with your gut feeling of 'Theres probably going to be allot of people, don't you think honey, we might not get a seat and have to be in traffic for hours on end"
mmmm...you guessed it we sat pretty much in the last place possible, got yelled at by a "National Forest Ranger" for seating somewhere I guess we not suppose to be and you remember the expression, 'I walked both ways up hill in 12 ft of snow' minus the snow and add a stroller to that and you have our 2 1/2 mile hike up hill pushing Mj!! Yes I believe that my calf's grew in size that day along with a ever piercing feeling in my gloots. Thank heavens for my Man he did most the work! Well the Fireworks were pretty and we had a blast with Tori and Todd and their lit'l family. We even got to travel with them . Over all the experience was something to laugh over but I am not sure I will EVER plan a holiday trip to a National Monument....ever again.

I do have to share a picture I took of our little social butterfly at work. This is an older couple that Mj befriended while we sat waiting for the fireworks to start. She played with everyone along this strip of the crowd. We all laughed until we cried because after she had played with them for a few she came over and exclaimed.."Mommie, I found Grandma and Grandpa!"
Not only is she like a little puppy when it comes to loving people ....
she is also like a puppy over food. You'd think I starve the poor thing the way she begs from other people. You know that look that a dog gives you when they are sitting by you and they want what you have but they don't want you to know they do. She did that to anyone that was eating something. We laughed because I had just got done feeding her KFC chicken and two salads. At one moment I looked over and she was eating from a bag of sun chips that I know I didn't bring. She had took it from the neighboring group and was just munching away!
I'll save the beverage thing for another day......
