Happy 4th of July!

It was another great 4th of July at the Lake!  Gracie had recently decided that she would wear headbands, so I (of course) had to whip up some festive headbands for the holiday weekend!  not to be left out, e got to decorate his very own 4th of july hat.  i'm not really sure he ever wore it, but he was pretty proud of it!

 the kiddos all decorated their bikes and had quite a lengthy bike parade!  they did lots of laps around the plymate's lake house...and, each kid was able to lead several laps!
 posing with uncle phil!  he asked gracie if she wanted him to hold her for the pictures or should he squat down.  she apparently thought they both should squat.  personally, i think gracie's plie squat has better form ;).

 and round two of matching swim suits!!  gracie and claire had matching gear for the beach trip, and they both ended up with matching suits for the 4th. this might have seemed planned, but it was just a happy coincidence!
 4th of july boat ride.  and, if this ride ended like many others, we probably had a bit of ice cream at paytons.
 both evan and gracie are huge fans of boat rides.  they were less enthusiastic when i joined because we couldn't go as fast since I was pregnant this summer.
 proof that they can on occasion pretend that they like each other.
 group shot in the girl's adorable outfits that aunt betsy made them.  e got to pick out some festive outfits from target...boys clothes just aren't as fun to make ; ). 
 no holiday is complete without a little sugar on top!
and, gracie wrapped up her holiday weekend with her favorite activity...reading!
