Our Fourth of July

We had a great July 4th. We relaxed here in the morning and finished making some of our treats for the festivities today; strawberry cream pie, red velvet cupcakes, etc. Then we went to the Monona fair, where Kate had a blast on all the rides! We then headed to Tracy's house, where we grilled out, swam, and set off fireworks when dark. I love summer!

 My patriotic cupcakes

 My strawberry cream pie with shortbread crust; yummy!!

 At the fair; love thus shot of the two (three?) of us

  

I love hugs!

 These pictures should be viewed with the song "Miracle of Miracles" from Fiddler on the Roof running through your head: Maxine was actually letting Kate pet her!

OK, THAT is NOT Maxine...I don't know what you did with the real Maxine but you aren't fooling me. The real Maxine would never, I repeat, never, let Kate get close enough to touch her let alone pet her.

Haha, I know; that's why I had to take a picture! It was crazy... Now Kate says "Now we don't have to give her to Grandma Gail!" haha.
