An Independence Day Story

My mum and I headed over to Uncle Nick and Aunt Megan's house for a Fourth of July barbecue. Cousin Amels has a pool. The water was real warm but I was a bit hesitant at first to go in because Cousin Amels can splash with the best of 'em.
See what I mean. She's got mad splishing skills.
So I took off to play on her playground. While there I invented the 'spread your legs to stop from hitting the hot pea gravel' method of exiting the slide. As a bonus, this method also kept the wee rocks from going up my new fish swimming trunks. You don't want hot rocks around your twig and berries, America.
When I finally did get in the pool, I was by myself and there was very little splashing. I like calm waters, what can I say?
My mum was busy capturing pics of the day but she wasn't too careful and one time Cousin Amels almost got her mitts on the camera. Here's how that looked.
After our parents pulled the picnic table into the shade, we sat down to eat, Cousin Amels and me. That barbecued hot dog was mighty tasty. I didn't even mind it when Cousin Amels snuck a chip off my plate.
I was too busy eating the cheese anyway. Cheese is good.

I'll have to add "twig & berries" to the collection, thus displacing the previously-most-recent "Big Jim and the Twins."
