Lilli’s 2nd 4th of July

Lilli and I were on our own for the weekend part of the 4th of July. Buno went on a camping/floating bachelor party trip without us. Lilli and I headed down to my parent’s lakehouse. We had a wonderful time, as usual! Lilli rode the jet skis for the 2nd time and she swam in the lake for the first time. Those darn life jackets ruin all the fun. She hates that thing! It was only her second time wearing it, but I think eventually she’ll get used to it. They just look so darn uncomfortable. She can barely move her head around! This holiday weekend was pretty much like any other- jam packed with GOOD food. Oh my. I swear I gained about 35lbs. One night our italian friends made REAL italian food, then another night our mexican friends made REAL mexican food. AND there was also a good cake here and there, some rice krispy treats, and smores of course! Absolutely wonderful. Also, Lilli slept like a sweet angel, so I was able to get some good sun on both days. I think my parents have some sort of baby sleep miracle working around their houses. Every time we go to either on of them Lilli sleeps til at least 9 or 10 in the morning and also takes 2-3 hour naps! She NEVER does it anywhere else!

Notice my new choice of bathing suit...NEVER going to sport a bikini AGAIN... Don't judge my belly or Lilli's thunder thighs! haha!

We all got home on Sunday, and there was a carnival going on in our town. Their fireworks display didn’t start until 11PM, which is WAY past Lilli’s bedtime, but we were at least able to walk around and ride the carousel. Lilli wouldn’t even smile! She was just checking things out. She also ate a delicious carnival onion ring and earned some beads…but not the way YOU know how to earn beads. She earned them just from being her cute self.
