4th of July and besties

Every year on the 4th of July we have a family picnic where we invite all the relatives, grill out, sweat a lot (because it's usually soooo hot) and just have fun hanging out.  Reese has a best friend from school, Audrey.  This year we thought it would be fun to invite Audrey (Auby as Reese calls her) and her parents over as well so the girls could play.  This is such a fun age and it's so neat to see their little personalities in full bloom.  We went from both of them having to sit together in the car, swimming int he pool and playing at the sand and water table, to Reese deciding that the chair Auby was sitting in was hers and she needed to sit in it right away.  This is a chair that she has probably sat in once since we bought it 6 months ago.  We had a great day!!
