4th of July and dogs

We got a whole bunch of family members together for a fourth of July party. Here are some shots of Callie playing in the yard (in her extremely short dress):

She loves throwing balls in the yard. She has good form for a throw-in in soccer


She also enjoyed her time playing with the dogs in Spartanburg. She learned their names pretty quickly and got in the habit of yelling their names or saying "dog" 200-300 times a day. She would say "Doldie" for Goldie and "Bable" for Rachel.
Here is a picture of her sitting with Goldie.

Rachel has a lot more energy than Goldie and would love to run up to Callie full speed and lick her face and jump all around her, so Gami would often have to mediate their interactions.
