Drunk off the Sun - 4th of July 2010

Our 4th of July weekend was packed full of family and fun. My sister held her annual 4th of July BBQ Bonanza at the South Shore Cultural Center right off the lake. As usual a ton of great food, live DJ for those who love to "shake the booty" and plenty of space for the kiddies to move around. My sister always makes sure there are plenty of toys and interesting things present to keep the kiddies occupied. Sophia had a ball running around. It was pretty much the perfect day with the warm temperatures and low humidity. Sophie was completely drunk off the sun; she was so excited about being out, Tom and I could hardly keep up with her.



I've seen kids who are pretty shy when meeting new people. They have a tendency to cling to their parents when put in a unfamiliar environment. Sophia is just the opposite, she is pretty outgoing and loves to meet and interact with people and what a flirt! A little worrisome for her dad and I that Sophia loves to bat her big brown eyes and smile at the boys. Little girls will try to talk to her and she will have nothing to do with them but a little boy or a man (like her doctor who she loves) and she turns into little miss cheesy. I tell Tom all the time that his daughter is going to age him quickly with her flirtatious nature....he agrees.

So, Monday is our recover day; luckily I have the day off. We had a great weekend thanks to our family and friends. Thanks also to Lisa and Dennis for the swim and Joanie and Tony for the great eats and fun in the sun.
