What a fun day !

We had loads of Kieran and Katie’s friends arrive and we spent the afternoon on Meshugga out on Lake Michigan, ending up in the ‘PlayPen’ for an early evening American CookOut.

We dressed Meshugga with Americana paraphernalia.

Nicholas and Steve manning the CookOut

We returned to our berth at DuSable and enjoyed the Chicago 4th July Fireworks with prime viewing spot, and the party went on til early hours.
