4h of July Fun (and happy birthday, Kim!)

What's 4th of July weekend without a cookout? Yesterday we headed over to Aunt Patty's to celebrate cousin Kim's birthday (and the 4th).

Lily was happy to show off her American pride in this adorable outfit from Grandma.
Charlie is patriotic too!
The weather yesterday was really dicey - pouring rain, thunderstorms, sunshine, then more thunderstorms. But we managed to sneak in a little time in the pool at the cookout between rain showers.
After swimming, it was time for birthday cake! Lily stopped to take a picture with Kim, the birthday girl, but you can tell that her mind was on all the desserts on the table!
"Wait a minute, I get to eat cake AGAIN?!!? I love all these summer birthdays!!"
