Because the 4th of July fell on a Thursday, that meant we were swim meeting it until 10:30pm on the 3rd (yeah for bday meets!). So we figured we'd stick around for the festivities before heading to Baltimore.
Does it get much better than donut on a string??
Awe...
Let the game begin! 13+ greased watermelon polo - there truly is no tougher exercise!
Coin drop----crazy for money!
The Dad's blow-up ducky relay...
The Mommy kick-board full-wine glass relay---didn't drop it once!
The family relay was not captured, but somehow all FIVE us managed to race against four 9-10 year olds..."Brothers from a different mother", they claimed.
An impressive end to the end, once again, thanks to Andy Lofton, courtesy Dino Taylor's multi-state procurement and delivery.
Then off to Grandma's, to catch more fish than we ever have!
Margaret kayaked a lot, but Matthew just wouldn't stop going. This was his first solo paddling and Little Man just couldn't get enough!
Matthew insisted on wearing life jacket while jumping off the dock to ensure that he wouldn't touch the "icky, squishy" bottom---smart kid!
More fireworks down river...
And an impressive, competing lightning show...
Try as he did to pull out the first tooth at the meet, it waited for Baltimore. How on earth did the Tooth Fairy know where we were?
Jim, Yvie, Caroline and Steve came by Saturday. Good to see them, but missed all of the others. It's been too long. Maddie is off to Mary Washington this month. Very proud of her and excited for this new chapter:-) We know lots of people from C'ville there and they all love it.
Life is good on the River:-)
