Juneteenth

Thursday was Juneteenth and that is a public holiday in the USA. We went to a Yankees game and the Yankees won against the Los Angeles Angels. The score was 7-3. We also got Yankee hats, mine is blue with the Yankee sign and it has some beads on it, it’s really cute. Roxy’s is sparkly purple with the Yankee sign on it. It’s Glamorous.

After the Yankees game we went to a Juneteenth party and I tried pumpkin pie. It was fun.
