Reed was also dressed up as a baby Bald Eagle, or Eaglet. There are benefits to attending the Eagle festival in Sauk City every January- Maddie knew all about baby eagles, especially how their heads are brown until they are several years old.
Caleb dressed up as a dinosaur. He really wanted to be a dinosaur. Maddie tried to invent some story about how she was the mommy eagle, and that she protected Reed the Eaglet from the dinosaur that was trying to eat him.
Caleb not only wanted to be a dinosaur for the 4rth of July, he also refused to wear Maddie's Dinosaur costume, It was too big for him, and he wanted a small one. So I sewed him a suit out of an old towel. This may very well be the biggest domestic feat of my life. If I can make this awesome suit out of an old towel, I can do anything.
We entered the parade as a group, and the kids won 3rd prize (there were 3 entries) with our award we got $3 prize money which was then used to purchase fireworks. This was really fun.
A few days later Martin had a track meet , and there was an Eagle statue there. Maddie loved the eagle and kept pretending to fly on its back. Of course we really weren't supposed to climb on the Eagle, so I took this picture secretly while telling my kids in a stern voice to get off the statue. They really are so cute.
