"Hot Diggity Dog"

Today is the Fourth of July! At Louisiana Downs, they had a Weinie Dog race this morning. We thought that would be kind of funny, so you (Landon), Daddy, Poppie, and Mommy went down to the track to see what it was all about. Even though it was in the morning, it was still so hot; the temperature got to 100 degrees today. There were lots of people there and lots of dog contestants and spectators. It was so comical to watch these little dogs and their owners race down to the finish line. Some went all the way, and some stopped as soon as their owners did. You got so hot outside. An Icee (with the emphasis on the C as you say it) cooled you off, well sort of. Shortly after, you decided the races would be better viewed from the stands in the air conditioning. Not a bad idea. We finished watching, and then went back to Poppie and JuJu's to have a big lunch of Bar-B-Q chicken, baked beans, potato salad, and flag cake. It was a good start to America's birthday.
