July 1st

The kids had a blast at the July 1^st celebration.

There was water fights with soggy balls of wool.

And then the older boys got into the horse and rider egg fight. One rider would ride a horse and the horse would have an egg tied to his forehead. The opposite rider’s job was to whack the egg with a foam noodle and crack the egg.

It was hilarious when Austin rode Cassidy because of his size. He was the only rider that was actually thrown from his horse, simply because he was too small to handle his mount. *smile*

At one point, while we were watching the boys have their egg fight the younger ones got into a rolling good time. They started wrestling Austin for his shoe. I think they had as much fun on that activity as some of the planned games!

Isn't There Something Else We Can Do?

Now This is More Fun!

I've Got Austin's Shoe!

Okay, Enough With the Shoe Fight!

Run Cooper!

And then there was the wall.

Austin was so light that when he threw himself at the Stickie Wall he kept falling off.

Cassidy, on the other hand, was heavy enough that he stuck perfectly and had a hard time peeling himself down! It reminded me of a fly getting stuck on fly paper.

When I gave the kids each a cotton candy it was interesting to see that the girls did not like theirs and the boys did. Perhaps it is the lack of candy in their diet while growing up? Our boys don’t get a lot of candy, but they will take any that is being offered!

Over all a good time was had by every one.
