4th of July

We celebrated the fourth at my parents house on the last day of our vacation.






Water table with Aunt Lolo.




Madeline is not sure what to make of this situation...


Result of Gramps' GUI (grilling under the influence, of Drambuie that is) - half burnt, half raw! Yum!

Vacation!

We embarked on a very ambitious and busy trip this summer! We went to South Carolina (with a quick visit to NC to see some friends at the zoo), Atlanta, and then Tampa to visit family and friends! It was a great time, albeit very HOT and busy!


Aunt Lil, Savannah, Doug and Maddy.










Two very hot and irritated babies! Poor things, they had to wear these bulky life jackets in the 98 degree heat with no breeze!


The best pic of the 6 cousins!


Ed and Calla - you should see their gorgeous house!



Madeline and Kate's beautiful child, Avery. They hit it off while at the zoo! It was terribly hot there, even the animals from Africa were lounging lazily in the shade!


Kate, Avery and us.




At Sid's pizza birthday party.



Cam was sharing his straw. It was really cute!


At Melissa and Doug's awesome pool.


With Aunt Lil, Uncle Wayne and the doggie - who was a huge hit!


Ron feeding her ribs.


She liked them very much, making dad very proud!


With Ron and Carolee! The next time we see them, they'll have a child!!!


This pic perfectly sums up the weather while we were in FL! It rained almost the whole time we were there!


Our little Michael Strahan.


Cute pic of Rick's children and Madeline! It was so nice meeting them all.


Rick with Maddy.


With dad and Uncle Sal on his beautiful backyard.


Had a great time, but glad to be home!

Alex and Mikie's graduation

We celebrated Alexandra and Mikie's graduation - it was a really hot, but nice day, during Father's day.








She loved the watermelon!
