4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we continued the tradition of going up to the McNamara cabin on Spider Lake.  We had a ton of fun and its always good to see Pat and Terri.  Here are a few photos from the day, which we finished off with Fireworks in New Richmond.

Fiona looking patriotic in her outfit from Diane. (I think the sun was in her eyes)

 Cal saw her on the blanket and snuggled right up:

 Happy girl:

 Getting invaded once again from a few more kids :)

 These two crack me up!  I call them trouble, but I'm sure its more Cal instigating any trouble when they're together than Luca...  And actually they are really good together.  Cal talks about Luca non-stop, and from what I hear most mornings at Jessie's house start out with Luca talking about Cal. 
I have no idea why they both have their arms above their heads, other than that they like to copy each other and must have thought that was a funny thing to do for a picture :)

 Having a conversation about what to do with their water balloons:

 Cal decided to be silly with his I guess:

 They played with sticks a good part of the day, and came home covered in bug bites!  (they kept going into the woods for more sticks)

 They filled this milk can with sticks, and then took them out... over and over:

 We had to tell them no when they came out with this huge stick!  They make a good team!

Maggie, Cal, Grace, Lucy and Leyton ready for some swimming:

 Tina, Susie and Kelly scheduled games for the kids this year.  They had a blast. 

 Leyton and Lauren did awesome at the 3-legged race.  I think they had the advantage with being the same size though :)

 Egg on a spoon races:

 Wheel-barrow races!  They did great at this one too... again I think they had the size advantage.

 At the end of the games they got to do a pinata.  They were pretty excited.

 Cal taking his turns:

 Eric and Fiona:

 Cal showing me his bloody toe... he stubbed it really bad, and it took forever to heal it seemed like!

Happy 4th everyone!
