Fourth of July Fun

Summer in Seattle has been a dream so far this year. Six weeks of sun and warm weather has given us the opportunity to share great summer fun with Lily. She loves going out boating and even swims in Lake Washington's 65 degree water. She loves the water so much that we're considering trading in our boat for one that we can sleep on. Our friend Tim took us out on his boat over the 4th of July weekend for a test "sleep over". Lily passed with flying colors and felt right at home on the water.

For the 4th, we took her to a small town country fireworks show close to our home. She had fun eating kettlecorn and hot dogs and running around the park while Mommy and Daddy took turns chasing her. We wish we could have captured her face when the fireworks started- she was awestruck!

Hi!

What a relaxed look Lily has in the water and on the boats! She is a "water lily" I think! I love the update and the photos, though the Obama shirt....oh, well....I forgive you!!!

Hope you have a wonderful and extended summer, those of us in Texas are just praying for a little rain!

So glad that you are all enjoying a wonderful summer!! We, on the other hand, have had an unbelievable amount of rain with not to much summer weather :0(
Oh well, making the best of it!!
