Last night we celebrated the 4th with some great friends. We had a fabulous time!
Started out playing frisbee - (Janel, Blare, & Jess sorry again for Carter's impeccable aim. :) )
Mason and Lexie enjoying popsicles
Ridge put his popsicle in front of his face when I asked if I could take a picture....lol...
The guys hanging out...Andy, Grayson, Blare, Nick
Briggs and Addi playing in the ice bucket. This was Adalynn's favorite activity of the night. She toppled over once and nearly fell in! EEKS!
Adalynn, Gage, Briggs
When Nick seemed to be missing for about 10 minutes, I went looking...I found him out front with the "big" kids playing. Here they are playing "Mrs. Fox" led by Haleigh.
I LOVE this picture. SO funny. The girls are being girly and Carter is trying to get away.They are playing red rover here.
Lexie, Nick, and Mason. Right after this pic, Mason redeemed himself from Church picnic's red rover game last year when he reared up and ran with all his might.....only to fall flat on his face RIGHT in the middle of the path. Poor guy!
This is what the older 4 did most of the evening. They are playing house. The tree is their house. When I first took Carter up to see if the girls wanted him to play too - Haleigh told me they were playing princesses and didn't really need a prince. Then she said, "but we can play house instead and we need a daddy! But....we won't do any kissing!" HA! I laughed so hard.
Here is Madison swimming in their play pool. :)
Nick and Haleigh seem to get along really well. :)
Another fun "toy" Todd & Jess' jeep aka jungle gym
Pure chaos. 15 kids to 10 adults. Nuts.
Here are the crazy mommas! I love all these girls SO much. Awesome godly women.
Here we are playing Duck, Duck, Goose. Moms, Dads, and kids. This might have been one of my favorite events of the night. Hilarious and really fun!
Funniest story of the night: For some odd reason, Mason (3) decided to shove Madison (4) down. Pretty quickly, here comes Reid (2), Madison's little brother, and he shoves Mason back! LOL! THEN....Mason gives Reid a super angry look....I quick snapped a picture of it, and by the time I did - the look had softened quite a bit but here it is anyway...oh...boy...What are we going to do with him? lol...
On a sweeter note, he LOVED the sparklers
Picture of the group watching the fireworks
Again, Nick and his buddy, Haleigh
Haleigh also LOVES to take care of Adalynn. She has such a mothers instict in her already!
Mason and I watching the fireworks
Me and my uber handsome hubby!
Haha....Another failed attempt at a family snapshot...lol...
Hope you had a fabulous fourth too!
