This was the scene last tuesday on the 4th as we celebrated the 4th with our good friends the Schlos's. We had a great time eating burgers, lighting sparklers, chatting while the kids tirelessly played in the Loch. We also invented some new games we think will fit right in with the next Olympic summer games. First, up is the reverse sand shovel rock toss. Dabe ended up using his hight advantage to take the gold medal in the men's division. Louise edged out Julie in the womens division but as we found out later it was at a cost as she pulled a hip flexor muscle and has had a hard time driving ever since. The shovel you see in my hand is the actual shovel we used in the competition.
The other game was the swan whack. This was invented out of necessity as the swans kept encroaching on our territory. It was about survival, really. I should say that no swans were injured during this competition.
All in all it was a great day with beautiful weather, tasty food and great fellowship. I'll post some more pics soon of the competitions and some good patriotic stuff. By the way, these photos are compliments of the Schlos's who took over 100 photos that day.
