The Riff Raft Club











We spent the fourth of July this year with Bennett's family in Severna Park. The weekend began with a birthday party for his Mom on July 4th. Though it was her birthday she gave all the little girls a red cheerleader costume which turned out to be a huge hit. Former Baltimore Colt cheerleader Aunt April lead the squad in practice and the girls think they are all ready now to hit the football field. It was very cute, thanks Mom!


On Saturday, we went to the Grachur Club on the Magothy River for some swimming and sand playing. Grandpa delighted in escorting the grandkids from the beach to the big floating wooden "raft" out in the middle of the water. The Grachur Club has been around for literally 100 years and apparently it is tradition that whoever can swim from the shore to the floating raft officialy becomes a member of the "riff raft club." The kids were super excited to become members.
