This 4th of July was sooo exciting for so many reasons! Rylee is finally old enough to enjoy the festivities of the Holiday, I've had more practice with photography and was able to capture some great shots of the fireworks, and of course being poolside in the hot Florida weather and grilling out with family. The 4th of July fell on a Friday this year and both Mitch and I had the day off of work. Grandma and Grandpa Reedyk were sooo generous to babysit Rylee for us early that morning so that we could go and enjoy a movie date together. Mitch and I went to see Hancock, Will Smith's new movie. It was fabulous and soo great to finally get to see a movie again in the theaters. We saw the 10:00am showing. Once we got home, we got ready and headed over to Uncle Mike and Aunt Jo-jo's for some pool fun and hamburgers on the grill. Miss Sara lent Rylee the cutest '4th of July' outfit. She wore a blue jumper with little firecrackers on it, and then red white and blue flip flops, and momma added a red headband to match. She was true to form in her American pride spirit for the day!!!
It's been somewhat of a battle to get Rylee to eat certain foods lately, but she is doing very well with a spoon a feeding herself. She loves her fruits. Here she is eating her peaches.
and then a yummy cupcake Jo-Jo made (Momma had like 3 of these through out the day, oh no!!)
Rylee played with Loui alot at the pool and had a lot of fun. Loui is just her size!! Sometimes it makes me want to get a family pet for her, but we're not ready for that!!
I don't know what it is, but Rylee has been shying away from guys lately. Michael was holding Rylee and then all of a sudden she just had the biggest poofy lip ever. It was soo darn cute! Rylee finally opened up to Mike later, but she sure was upset. Sorry Mike!!! But isn't this just the cutest picture ever?
Rylee swam and colored with MiMi before we headed out to Lake David to see the fireworks
we pretty much just walked around Lake David to check out what was going on, take a few pictures, etc.... Rylee has started to learn some of her body parts and when you ask her where her tongue is, she'll stick it out for you! It's the cutest thing ever! She also knows where her belly button is, and if we're lucky, she'll show you where her nose is... I'm soo proud of how fast she is learning things. She is sooo observant and such a smart little girl!!
and finally, it got dark and momma got to take some pictures of the fireworks!!!!!!! and yay, here they are!!!! I'm very proud of how these turned out! Last year, I was sooo unsuccessful and was so happy to get it right this time!! The show was lovely! Rylee had a great time with it as well, she was very excited and happy to see them, and at the same time she would bury her face into daddy's chest as if she was also scared.... very sweet! She was definitely ready for bed by the time the show was over. I'm glad we stayed local. I can't believe it doesn't get dark here until about 9 pm!!!!
