24th of July

I haven't posted for almost a month, so I'm working my way backwards through pictures.  We celebrated the 24th of July with the Clingers at the cul de sac of fire.  It was a spectacular firework display, delicious food and fun to chat with friends that we see on occasion. 

These are the "kids" waiting for the parachutes to be shot off so that they could catch them.

 

4th of July

For the 4th, we hung out with about half of the Robertson family.  We swam, ate hamburgers, played the bucket game, pig sticks, trampolines, bikes, video games, and played with cousins. Jer is the entertainment committee.  He put up 9 square, the slack line, organized games, and set off fireworks with about 20 nieces and nephews.

The bucket game.

We had tons of poppers and confetti cannons this year.

Evelyn was very excited about her "tiny hat".

Jonathan was awesome with keeping order during sparkler use.

My amazing husband.

It's a fish!

I love how the fireworks are reflecting in her glasses.

Taking a minute to enjoy the show.

Evelyn and Sam dominated in chicken fights this time around.  They didn't lose any.  Between Evelyn's acro and Sam's newly found muscles....

Even after a sneak attack.

They've all been on a Batman and Robyn kick.

Marg made this cute pigeon for James.  It turned out so cute.
