Happy 4th of July

Monday, July 7, 2008

These first few photos are from last week, just enjoying the warm weather in the backyard. Piper picked out both her and Reagan's swimsuits this year and wanted to match. They are so darn cute!
She never runs directly through the sprinkler but around and around the perimeter.

If the pool wasn't so darn cold she'd really enjoy splashing. I try to fill it up early in the day or the evening before to let it warm up and then take a net to get any bugs or grass out of the pool but Piper won't go near it because there are bugs in there. She is terrified of bugs.

Reagan will stand in the pool but if she sits she doesn't like it. Again, too cold.
Finally, cabin pictures. The girls had such a wonderful time, they soaked up the outdoors, Grandma, Grandpa, Claire, Matt and Daddy time. I actually got to sit and take a load off for much of the time, no wonder I enjoyed it so much! The first day Piper wouldn't even come near me, I actually had to chase her down a few times for a hug.
My little rock collector.

Daddy and Piper did a lot of fishing. Reagan wanted to walk all the way to the edge of the dock and watch the fish, it was terrifying.

Piper's little baby fish.
Here's her monster fish, she ran away from it after it came out of the water, reminds me of her Uncle Bill.
Look at her hands, she's got them all curled up and she's cringing. There was no kissing a fish this year Grandpa Miller.


Piper and Papa were having a great time playing in the water, she was pouring water over his head when he "wasn't" looking. This is a pretty funny picture, I don't think Papa will like it, it looks like he's going to eat her.
Oh she was a happy girl!
Reagan gobbled up her Grandma time, she cuddled up on her lap quite a bit, I don't think Grandma minded at all.
So here again Piper reminds me of her Uncle Bill - see the picture below.

From what I remember from our Summer's at the Lake Bill would spend hours on his tube.


This sums up Reagan this weekend, she was a little explorer walking everywhere. Like Grandma said, she just thinks she's all grown up.

Another fun thing Piper got to do, Matt and Claire took her on a few rides up and down the driveway and around the cabin, we could hear her giggles over the noise of the 4-wheeler.
The girls took a quick kayak ride together. Reagan gets a little nervous when her big sister is around.

But she's so relaxed on her own.
We had such a great time, we just can't thank Robin and Lonny enough for letting us join them. The cabin is a little slice of heaven, as soon as you leave you can't wait to get back.
