All American Cuties

this might be my new favorite picture

We had a great 4th of July! We started by celebrating with a fun family breakfast at a restaurant! That doesn't usually happen for us...especially since Reece was born. But we thought we'd give it a try and it went surprisingly well. Hailey had a chocolate chip pancake that was HUGE

 

 That and the small creamers for coffee may have kept her pretty well entertained :)
Then she and Daddy went on a date to Golfsmith. Ha! Ever since playing putt putt at the beach she's been obsessed with golf. Ryan played golf in the pouring down rain the other day and had to leave his clubs laying out in our foyer to dry out and Hailey played with them for a good hour. So he took her to Golfsmith to play with their clubs! She had a blast.

After naps we went to our neighbor's house for a cookout and pool party. Hailey swam for at least the first 2 hours. Then that poor girl ate for the next hour. She was starving after all that swimming. Her food of choice was carrots and dip (wouldn't ever eat them before) and BBQ chips.

 Reece did really well. He slept a little, just enjoyed being held and then dipped his toes in the freezing cold water. I thought he would cry but he didn't

On Sunday afternoon we met some friends for dinner (two restaurants in one weekend!). Let's be honest, Hailey did more walking around from table to table than she did eating but that's why we have the best friends. They love our kids! After dinner we went to a local neighborhood to support another friend who just started an ice cream food truck business. The ice cream was SO good! I had chocolate, Ryan got butterscotch haystack and Hailey had Lucky Charms. Yumm! I have no pictures of the actual ice cream because it was eaten too quickly! They even let Hailey come inside the truck and look around. I love our friends!

What a fun, relaxing weekend!
