friends , fun, giggles and 4th of July

Lots of fun this week. We ended up at our little riverside park, where the kids can float down the river by themselves .. such independence !! Plus we celebrated 4th of July . Love to live in such a little town where you know the people on the parade floats and the parade is 40 min long .

All by myself!!

This was Aubriana ' first float down the river . Lilja loved being her "teacher and watched over her really good 

Two sunbathing beauties

Walking doggies on her own style, singing and pretending to be half bird. Yep.. ask her about it.  You will hear a detailed idea of her being part bird.. 

What is the end result of playing in the water with a big dog.. you get wet !

Dutch sprinkles on yummy bread .. our traditions are so yummy !!Violet was so excited ..

So fun to see fireworks with a 6 year old jumping in and out of your lap . She was so excited !!

At a certain point she said she had to stand up so she could jump because she was so excited !!

I think Lilja is missing school.. this is Owlementary!!..clever !!

Daddy is shoring gophers outside . Lilja is rooting him on .. kind of . 

Loving good old maggie up 

To explain to a 6 year old how to through a frizbee is like...... hmmm not sure but so hard 

So excited for the candy !#

Daddy taught her right.. wave, eye contact and tada..the candy will be town your way .. it works.. numerous times .
