4th of July

What a big weekend! We went to Grandma & Grandpa Brakkes to play. SO much fun. Sophie is such a fish - she really enjoys the water! Pools, Sprinklers & Lakes...so much fun!

Sophie LOVED to eat bacon, peanutbutter toast, grapes and pretty much everything else. Hanging out on the patio was so relaxing!

The neighbors had an old kiddie pool that Sophie played in. This was a HIT.


Sophie even got to drive the pontoon with Grandpa.

Grandma & Grandpa had to water some trees -and boy that sprinkler looked fun. Sophie had a blast running through/away from it. Mom forgot that she was right in the line of fire too.
After her nap - Cora Strickler came over. Sophie & Cora played in the swing and got reaquanted again.


Sophie & Cora - - - Kisses!!


After all of the excitement of the actual 4th of July - we rested up, and went to visit Cora and the rest of the Stricklers at their camp site. So many little girls! It was fun to watch them share sippy cups, see if they can make their moms freak by walking by the fire, and eating whatever falls on the ground.

It was a perfect evening to take a walk on the dock. Sophie - with a new found excitement for water, just had to dip her toes in the lake. We don't have a photo - but we ended up using this opportunity for bath time as well.





SO MUCH FUN!!
