Earlier in the year we decided to turn our backyard into a dog park for Lillie and me and our friends in the neighborhood. Tonight, we dedicated The Alex XXXXXX Memorial Park and it was the best park dedication ever! We had 37 neighbors and friends, 12 kids and 20 dogs join us for the dedication. Rev. Paul led the dedication and our friend, Susan, Uncle John, Uncle Kevin, our friend and Rev. Paul's wife, Jenn, and our good neighbor, Rich, each read aloud at the ceremony. After that, our mom said neat things about Alex (our cat who died) . When she was done, Rev. Paul blessed the park. It was really neat and I think our neighbors will come back and play with us. Before it got too dark, one of my favorite boys - Sam (my mom's nephew) accidently pulled a light down from the tree. He didn't get hurt so that is good, but half of our park was not lit up after dark. Then, we got a really neat cat statue for our park and another of my favorite boys, Patrick (another nephew) accidently broke the cat's ear. That is a big bummer. Little boys are really destructive. My last favorite boy, Joseph (yes) was a very good baby the whole party but he never ate any of his dinner and that doesn't make any sense to me. My favorite girl, Elizabeth (uhhh . . .yeah) she was the sweetest and she played with a boy in the front yard who is afraid of dogs. Lillie was miserable the whole party because she is a very bad girl. Scout stayed in my mom's office and didn't cry the whole time. I'm exhausted.
