Dad's company picnic happened on Friday, July 18th. It was a fun time. It was held out in Remlinger Farms in the foot hills of the Cascades. Beach balls were everywhere.

We met Loren. She's two months younger than I am-and she's walking and she's eating big people food. My parents gave me a hard time.

And I had a good time on the playground. It took me awhile to fall asleep on the way home, but I finally did. It was an exciting day.
