On the morning of the fourth, the Green Lake Assosiation has a pancake breakfast and parade.
Anyone at all can be in the parade. Including us - who show up 5 minutes before it starts with a bag of candy and a festively decorated golf cart and sneakily merge into the lineup.
She could not be cuter. Oh my goodness.
Now that is just an impressive parade. Best for miles around.
Like two miles.
That would be a "science experiement" balloon my mom bought off Zulily. Ya know, to learn that hot air rises and will blow up a giant balloon. It mostly provided us with enough, um, innuendo and penis jokes for the whole afternoon. I never said we were classy people.
Elise was pretty tired from her 11pm bedtime the night before. She asked Grandpa to snuggle with her on the swing while she ate her popcicle. Seriously the sweetest.
Grandma & Grandpa Goote came out for the afternoon too.
Erika and Steve came up from Chicago. Steve is the nicest - Elise brought him this book and wanted him to read it. She looked super sad when I suggested I read it instead - so Steve read every word of the Berenstein Bears and the Bad Habit. Heart. Of. Gold. Also - these two cuties are getting married in a few weeks!
Never lacking someone to play with her.

I'm betting Erika was talking to her mom. Hi Robin!
That would be Elise bossing people around with a stick.
The newest yard game -- Molkky. Apparently it's all the rage in Sweden.
It involves a little too much math for me. But these people love it.
Poor Elise is tossed around by her daddy all day.
Except she totally loves it.
Pretend the princess panties are a bathing suit.
And of course, more potato gun.
Looks like so much fun! Miss you all.
