July 4th 2011

And is also, of course, known as Independence Day. And since a well known MN Congress person tends to put her own spin on a variety of subjects I thought I, a little known American, could as well.

Independence day it was this past week for my MN girls. While Julia was at school Shelby and I got to try out her new pool.

Here she is asserting her Independence by totally ignoring grandma's request to stay in the pool


The two of us did enjoy our day together

Here the girls are with their Independence Day outfits on for the school parade.
And true to the word Independence, they are asserting theirs
Deciding they did not want to pose for pictures
But I kept snapping and was able to catch this adorable one
Have a wonderful safe July 4th everyone
