Braid, ponytail, braid

Mira has taken a great interest in how her hair looks lately, coming up with some new "designs" she wants me to try on her. Her latest and greatest she likes to call "Braid, ponytail, braid." See, how pretty?
We went out to Chris's dad's house on the lake last weekend for a couple hours. The girls got a nice ride on the pontoon and posed for a few photos.

Amelia LOVES to drive the pontoon:

And while we've been back-to-school shopping for Mira, Amelia also snagged a new skirt. She loves to wear skirts and shrieked with joy when I brought home this blue tie-dye number!
We've been enjoying a bit of family time lately, with a family wedding AND a family reunion this coming weekend. Mira just finished another round of swimming lessons, which she absolutely loves. She'll start soccer in September and it looking forward to that.
