July 4th weekend

I love it when a holiday falls on a Thursday, as all holidays should. It especially should be against the law for a holiday to fall on a weekend. This last holiday Thursday was an especially warm, sunny and sparkly 4th of July. Day of, Elsie and I scampered back to that Sprinkler Park, even though she was pretty tired (close to naptime). So we only spent 45 min running and jumping. Surprisingly it was not too busy. Afterwards she crushed a 2 hour nap and Spencer and I crushed Lord Voldemort, finally beating the Harry Potter deck building game he bought me. This was with 3 levels of additional difficulty, thank you very much! The rest of the day we were buying things at Walmart and packing for our skedaddle to Spencer's cabin.

 
  

Driving on a Friday afternoon wasn't too bad, Sunday coming back was hell, as we expected. Everything in between was loveliness. Swimming, playing with grandma, stumbling upon the BEST playground, board games, and even the weather could not have been better! Few bugs, no sunburns, lots of laughs. It was a great holiday weekend.


Likes to hang out by the lake, still a bit iffy on going in the water. Those arm floats are great! She tested them out and was able to float/swim all on her own!


Having fun in the sun!

LOVES her grandma Mel!

Saturday morning tea is at 7 am sharp! Fun dumping water in the morning before the sun hits the pier/water.

Reaching for the sky!

Finger dancing

Brushing doll's hair.

The most amazing playground in Lac du Flambeau at their elementary school, 12+ slides, rope climbing, sand box, TONS of things.

Helping Gma fill the kiddie pool.

Filling the kiddie pool.

Eating and loving her corn on the cob!

Saturday night feast of chicken, hot dogs, salads, corn, and watermelon.


Lots of fun was had by everyone!
