4th of July Week

My cutie pie at the rock beach.

 We had a fun-filled 4th of July week this year. We started the first weekend off with a visit from Grandpa and Grandma. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck, went to the rock beach, and they even helped me to organize our attic! On the 4th, we spent the day with the Tuccini family. We headed into town in the afternoon to watch the parade, then we went to the beach, and then had dinner over at their house. It started to downpour around 8:30 when we were on our way home, so we were hoping the fireworks would be rescheduled until the next night (we were all exhausted), but that didn't happen. Both kiddos fell asleep on the way home and slept in the next morning. It was a great day! The following Friday, Mark, Kelly, Drew and Matthew came up from Manistique to visit. We enjoyed the day with them watching the boys play, going to the beach, and just enjoying each other's company. It wasn't a long enough visit, as usual, but we were glad they made the trip for the day!

Best Buds!

The water is finally warm enough that she doesn't retract her legs when they touch!
