Lilli's visit Week 1


Week one started out our visit with teaching Lilli to catch fireflies and then progressing to holding huge frogs(that later had it's Pajamas taken off and put to bed aka skinned and killed). We took a day to unwind and get adjusted.

Later in the week,We had a playdate and picnic in the park with Ms. Kristen and Reagan and McKinley. We also had fried frog legs with Tyler, Amber and Lauren. Despite the sound, they were not bad, maybe not a daily pick but would I eat them again, yes. Lilli loved the "chicken" as she called it despite telling her they were the frog legs and was plowing through them. And this was after we'd already had a full dinner.

That Saturday was the 4th of July. We had two different BBQs we were supposed to be at. Thankfully the weather rained out one of them. So we had time to enjoy it. We went up to a friend's place for the "illegal" firework show and cookout. It was cold and drizzling but even the girls had a good time.

They moved the Rural King BBQ and firework show at the airport hangar to the 5th. We got to see the really big fancy fireworks put on by the county and had a good time. The girls got to play a lot and Lilli loved playing with some of the other kids and Baylee loved seeing all the airplanes as usual. She gets so excited over each one as if she's never seen one in her life. She just loves them. It's always nice that we get to be at the hangar instead of with the general public for the show. We took a blanket and got to lay in the grass front row instead of be on concrete with everyone else.
Lilli and Baylee had such a good time goofing off together. Lilli immediately made a new friend while she was here. It was her special fawn friend that she would go hug on and talk to. We didn't really ever tell her why it was in our yard...just didn't have the heart I guess.
