Happy 4th!

We hope you all had a very nice 4th of July weekend.

We spent the morning of the 4th home together as family.

I decided to put together a little carnival for the kids to enjoy.

Like any good mom in the 21st century,

I made my children sit for a picture before I

would let the carnival begin.

 Then the games began.

The Penny Toss....

Ball Toss into Rings in the Pool...

Although Baby J was confined to the wagon due 

to interfering with games, he still got 

to participate and enjoyed his ride between turns.

Throw a Dart at Balloons Game...

(this was a favorite :) 

Football toss...

Once again Baby J had fun taking a turn...

Bow and Arrow...

Basketball...

We ended the carnival/games with a few

relay races.

Then we let the little kids have a head

start against big brother in a race up the hill.

They thought this was quite fun.

Finally they got to enjoy all their prizes and treats!

After naptime, we went on a 20 mile bike ride

with friends.  Big J and Purple Girl did an awesome 

job biking this far.  

It was a nice day!
