It was a hot-wet-licious day and we had a grand ol' time celebrating Independence with so many good friends. Enjoy the happiness!
Junebug and Mrs. Holly doing marathon wordsearch
Social Eaters = snacking + talking
While the boring people were inside keeping cool, those with high energy levels chose to roast and have fun!
Waterballon fight, anyone?
Girls vs. Boys
David and the sparkling clean pool before it turned into a mud bath
Miss Lorna at your service!
Who needs to pay big bucks to go to a waterpark when we can make one ourselves?
Mr. Michael looking concerned about his quiet haven of safety...
...for good reason ;)
Full diaper alert!
The lovely Grandmas enjoyed the busy scene from inside the dry, cool house
"Glad I'm not out there!"
Dad made some slammin' burgers and dogs
Mrs. Teresa's sweet mom was able to join us as well!
Table for thirteen
Wet smiles never looked sweeter :)
Tired and hungry
Don't these pictures remind you of last year's party?
Wait for me!
Let the feasting begin!
Baby Eric woke up!
"Umm, am I really as adorable as people say I am?"
"Whoa! I am!"
Some of the men folk doing what they do best -- eating, not necessarily talking ;)
"It's firework time!"
Who says the floor can't be just as comfortable as a chair?
Baby snuggles with Pauly
Cake pops!
Vanessa did another wonderful job on these addicting little desserts
Junebug eating her homemade vanilla icecream
The busy restaurant
"Can I take your order please?"
"What? Can't we call the stroller a light red instead of pink?"
Two little waitresses serving the poor, homeless mutt
"Apples! Anyone want to buy an apple from a handsome fireman?"
"If you add a donut, Gabey, I'll buy it from you."
"I can do that. Dinner is served!"
Sweet Eric time
Staying so calm as he listened to the commotion
It's so good to fellowship with friends
Poor Bella. She will never forget the July 4th that we left her outside while we went to the firework show. Somehow she got out of the backyard and wandered the crazy, busy streets! We searched all over for her that night and the next day a neighbor a subdivision away brought her home to us. Poor dear.
I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow with some flippy floppy ears, I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that! (does that ring a bell, Reading Eggs people?)
Little Michael was beginning to look sweepy
Candace, is that your twin grandmother?
Junebug and Mr. C enjoying the chaos as all the little ones are readied to head out the door
(Camera phone pictures alert)
On our way!
"Is there room for me?"
Smiling even through the heat and mosquitoes
The ladies were excited to see the fireworks
Snuggle Vanessa!
The best chin rest on the lawn
Waiting
Johanna Banana and Ellie Bellie
Tight squeeze!
Part of our large group
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun day!
