4th of July - The party

It is a little unbelievable how many people we can fit on our yards and still have plenty of room for activities.

Kelsey, Paige and Danielle tried out the bean bag toss that Spencer and Grandpa made last year.

 And now croquet.

We also set up our ladder golf set.

We set up two volleyball nets this year so that the younger kids could play on one 

and the older kids (of any age) could play on another.  Both got some action this year.

Although Zoe wasn't too pleased for "Zoe's pool" to be at our house 

the pool of bubble mixture was very popular.

(With the exception of the toddler who wanted to swim and got bubbles in his eyes. Sorry Carson!)

And of course, the4th of July celebration at our house wouldn't be complete without the
"Fireworks".

100 ft of 1" bubble wrap

+ 

50 or more kids, teens and adults

= 

100% fun for everyone
(except the dogs)

Next year we may need more bubble wrap.

WATER FIGHT!

We didn't even have to provide the water balloons this year-

the balloons didn't last long and I let the hoses be used temporarily- 

until they started stepping on my plants.
