Camping and more!

Playing in her kiddie pool at the home. She crawled out of it almost every time we put her in.

She loved standing on the outside and splashing.

aren't volleyballs fun!

Then it was back to gramma's house to climb the stairs and practice giggling.

Haley made a fashionably late appearance at Cortney and Mark's wedding. I love her polka dot dress.

Then we went camping with the boys. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of our sleeping arrangement. We took one half of the Biltmore tent. Haley was wedged in a corner between the walls of the tent, a laundry basket and mommy and daddy's pillows. She slept pretty well there at night, but nap time was a bust since there was so much in the tent to explore.

Even on camping trips babies still get good eats

Montana and Brandon came to visit. Haley was pretty happy about it, but Montana was even more excited to meet Haley. I'm just glad that they might move up here soon.

4h of July Celebration!

Haley's first 4th of July was great.

She started the morning by picking berries with her daddy. She got dressed up for church, and found some of her friends who were also decked out in red white and blue. They all looked adorable.

That afternoon it was off to the town pool where she swam in her new penguin float and she explored the mushroons and spray spouts.

We were all ready to head out on a hike up craggy, but there was an emergency at work so Haley stayed behind with her daddy to get a good night of rest for the next morning.

On Monday morning the guys we work with helped deck out Haley's stroller for the campus bike parade. Haley's stroller was decorated with balloons streamers, and flags, she even but on her flag sandals (although those only lasted about 20 seconds before she ripped them off her feet)

The parade was followed by some competitive games (i.e. potato sack and wheel barrow races) and a cookout. Haley didn't make it through all of the festivities, but she loved the beads she got t the parade. And, when they handed out awards for the most spirt, most creative, and most patriotic, Haley got a special award, sash and all, for being the "little parade princess".
