The Burritt Files

Time seems to get away from me and before you know it three weeks have past since the last blog update.  Since pictures are what everyone really wants to see, below is what the Burritt crew has been up to.

We went to our friends house catch up with them and to let the kids swim in the pool.  Didn't get any pics of the kids but her is Lillian and Gwyneth relaxing after a day in the sun.

 

Charlie still had some more energy so she played dress up with Megan

She loved the devil costume!

All of the kids waiting for the 4th of July parade to start.  It was Charlie, Logan, Will, Ally and Jonathan.  They were all getting ready to get the candy!

Charlie wasn't a fan of all of the sirens on the fire trucks and police cars.  She just kept starring at them waiting for them to stop.

Lillian tried to stay as cool as possible underneath the tent.

Gwyneth couldn't handle all the excitement that day and fell asleep early.

We enjoyed some beautiful weather and had dinner on the deck.  Gwyneth was busy starring at the deer that were in the backyard.  

This time it was Lillian that fell asleep early!

On a nice day Owen and I took Charlie down to Navy Pier.  She was so excited to go on the choo choo!  Of course, she needed a snack to  complete her train experience.

Splashin' around in the fountain.

On the Seadog boat ride down at Navy Pier.

You can't tell by her serious look but Charlie really liked the boat.  She loves the water and loves to go fast!

She really didn't like getting wet.

Chicago is a beautiful city!

The boat ride really worked up Charlie's appetite so we had lunch. 

Then she did an impromptu dance on one of the stages.

Her first churro.  It was sweet so she loved it!

Back on the train she had to check and see if she had any messages from her peeps!

After a fun day in the sun she was ready for bed early.

This past weekend we went up to the lake.  We wanted to get Gwyneth and Lillian in the lake so they grow up to love it as much as Charlie.  We got Lillian in the water and after a little crying she really seemed to like it. 

Gwyneth thought that it was lame and slept the day away!

I think if Charlie would sleep in the water she could.  It was the first thing that she talked about in the morning and the last thing she talked about at night.  She can't wait to go back again.  If she only know how hard it is to get down to the beach with three kids and all of their 'gear'.  It's totally worth it once you see the smile on her face as she plays in the sand and water.

Lillian & Gwyneth had a lot of fun just relaxing on the blanket. 

Gwyneth already has a thing for shoes.  Even though they don't fit she insisted that she wear the pretty pink shoes!
