Happy 4th of July weekend...

Early on in the week I was trying to figure out what people were doing for the 4th. Not much. As far as I could find out there wasn't a parade just fireworks later on in the night after the A'ville Tourists baseball game. So I decided we should barbecue, so we had Mat's parents, Ron and Naomi and Sara and Mark and some friends over. We played some croquet and ate lots of good food. Maddy loved all the new people she got to meet and say hello to. By saying hello, I mean, overwhelming them with her eagerness to lick their face.

We played frisbee with Maddy before everyone showed up thinking it might wear her out a bit. I don't really think it did. She did get worn out playing w/ the dogs who came over though. We were able to see some fireworks from our front yard and then we went downtown and saw the Asheville fireworks. It was a nice evening.

On Saturday night, we went to Shindig on the Green. We LOVE going there. This time we didn't get rained on!

We enjoyed listening to great people play...

and people coming up to pet Maddy! Maddy was very well behaved. We find it is good practice for us and her to meet strangers and small kids to pet her.

We also enjoyed the end of the evening, when Bill asked if he could race the cop on the segway. Almost like COPS, the tv show, except for the fact the two had huge smiles on their faces!
