If my post only had one picture this one would be it... Relaxing, family, yummy food.
But, this is me so of course there are more. :)

Kevin had knee surgery on Wednesday so by Saturday he still wasn't up to much, but he hobbled to the food table a few times and did lots of snuggling with the kids.
Grandma had a craft table set up for the kids
WATER FIGHT!!
This year ended up a little cooler than years past, so everybody ended up changing afterwards instead of just drying out. Thankfully we got it going fairly early because we ended up with about 1/2 hour of rain mid afternoon.
4th of July has turned into our unofficial family reunion each year. We had spectacular plans for an official family portrait on Friday evening, we all dressed-up and everything. I actually wore makeup! Unfortunately just as we arrived at the designated location the heavens decided to empty... along with one little boys stomach. :( We did take a snapshot on Saturday.
We are a crazy bunch!
I am not entirely sure these are my children.... Willingly playing with dogs?
The sun is starting to set and the card games are winding up.
Glow sticks make the perfect disraction between sunset and the fireworks.
More to come... Mallory's first paintball game and fireworks.
We'll see how those turned out, I'm not optimistic.

It was definitely a fun day; I'm glad my children (mostly) cooperated health-wise so we could party at the park too! When you get a chance, will you e-mail me the family pictures? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun! Hopefully you got one or two firework pictures, but you got some wonderful pics of the most important ones anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think we had enough glowsticks? Should we plan on more next year?
