4th of July Vacation

So can you guess where I went for my vacation? Look at the photos below . . .

No - it's not Florida, or Hawaii, or anywhere tropical . . . it's Bakersfield! That's right - those photos were taken in my Aunt & Uncle's backyard (those are REAL bananas too!)

Most of you think of the image below when you think of Bakersfield - and this photo was taken there too - it's not all just desert and oil, but there's fun stuff to do there too. It also gets VERY HOT! On my vacation it was 112 degrees one day.
When it gets hot there, I typically start my day playing in the sprinklers - at about 8:30 am when it's only 85 degrees.
Then I wave to all the people on the big green lawn on the other side of the fence -  they are smacking little white balls with metal sticks and sometimes they say bad words.
If it's not too hot I go swimming - if' it's really hot during the day I stay inside and play - then I go swimming in the early evening (instead of a bath!)

While I was in Bakersfield for my vacation, I went to a party! Not only was it a 4th of July party, but it was a 50th anniversary party for one of my older cousins. The party was outside with tents and twinkle lights and a band (and really good food too!).
Speaking of cousins . . . I got to meet my newest cousin, Haley. She is only a month old, so now I am not the baby of the family.
Well, that about sums up the FIRST part of my vacation - I will have to report on the second part later.  Taa taa for now!


By the way . . . I am 19 months old - TODAY!

Dear Kiera,
Happy 19 month birthday! When I see you in October you will almost be 2 years old!!! (and that's pretty old, you know.)
I was in Florida for the 4th of July and, although it wasn't as hot as Bakersfield, it was close! I walked in the morning when it was in the high 80's to low 90's. It was so HOT!
The boobie ladies who you saw were doing an Avon 2-day walk for breast cancer. I did that walk in New York City a few years ago. You didn't miss me. I'll be there in October.
I'm counting the days until I see you!
Love--Auntie Berta

ps--I deleted the last comment. It said it was from some cat named "mister jeter harris hizself" Silly!
