All American Weekend

Austin didn't have a big 4th of July parade, but we celebrated in our own way!

Marlee and I spent Saturday with James, Lauris and their son Dustin at their house. Yummy food and a nice cool pool! I didn't think we would be swimming, so I didn't bring Marlee's suit. She had other plans, though, and really, what's more patriotic than a little skinny dipping?!

Taking a break from the pool, Marlee and Dustin discovered the cooler...

Then proceeded to play a little game together - they both sat down and pretended to drink (don't worry - the cans are not open! I don't think we will ever give Mars caffine - she's already got enough energy!!). They would set the cans down, look at each other and pick them back up, then giggle and pretend to drink. They did this for a good 20 min! So funny!

That night, one of my clients hung out with us for a little bit. Marlee seems to really like having other kids come visit and she followed him around all night!

We started Sunday off with a trip to the duck pond (The ducks disappeared for awhile, but now are back and hungrier than ever!)

I think she looks like such a big girl here...

And ended the day at the Children's Museum (it's free every Sun from 4-5!)

We had a great weekend... the best part was Marlee started sleeping until 6am! I never thought I'd be happy to get up at 6, but it's so much better than 5!

She's adorable - of course, but I'd sure like to see her in that cute little swim suit I got her...:)
