Happy 4th of July and more

Happy 4th everyone ! Our little town of Bayfield always does a great job of making it feel festive . Breakfast in the morning, followed by the cutest parade , a party after that and wonderful fireworks over the field . Friends around, music and lilja having tons of fun. This summer is just a blast . We also visited aran's best friend Matt and his family to say good bye as they are moving to Virginia to start lawschool. Good luck Matt!! And the rest of the photos are just lots of fun things goibg on with our family . Enjoy !

Pip tired from all the playing with his friends, trusting Lilja to be sweet. Yes, he is passed out on his back on her lap .

Great fireworks ! There even were some hearts in there . Lilja said this was the best day ever !!

Friends !! 

She chose her outfit, bow and her pants were red sparkles!

Rachel joined us for the parade 

Yep she chose that bow too !

Happy 4th from us !!

We love that we can take Pip with us on our canoe rides. He is small enough and seems to enjoy it. Stays calm and sometimes even falls asleep right there in front .

This was my view to the back. This was lilja's idea. But aran and I had a huge workout. That was heavy 

Boys shenanigans after some drinks at matt's house.. enough said .

Lilja loves Eleanor and alice ..Eleanor loves to play the big sister  and alice and lilja seem to have the same imagination, getting lost in all kinds of play. 

Oh how she loves this dog !! 

Swimming classes again this year. She seems a little more fearful, so let's keep going.

Love how she is rimming his ear on her lip . He really searches her out to play and snuggle .

Chalk on the ground .. they make faces on the ground of boys and kissed them...hmmm
