4th of July at the Vineyard Club

Van and Lydia were kind enough to invite us up to the lake again this year for the annual Fourth of July festivities.  This is a true old fashion 4th with footraces for the kids, a pie eating contest, tug of war, and a big BBQ.  As a kid we used to go up almost every year and it is so much fun to be able to have my kids participate now.

 The Under Five Group at the starting line


 Lena is a little confused (notice that she is holding Thomas and the other girl's hand!)


 And they are off!


 Thomas had a slow start but finished strong


 Lena was the youngest participant in the kid's pie eating contest


 But she seemed to figure it out!


 She was slow, but steady...  about five minutes after everyone else finished or stopped she cleaned her plate!


 And celebrated like she got first place!


Which then her mommy did in the open division (2 years running!)

 Happy 4th of July everyone!
