I finally got around to going through my massive amount of photos from our Fourth of July weekend! From friday afternoon till monday evening there was a steady coming and going from our family lake. We celebrate together with the Blunier family every year and there is never a lacking of fun and entertainment. It was a bit chilly this year, and even misty rain Sunday evening but that didn't stop the kids from swimming or the corny jokes from being told!
If only life had a soundtrack, this post would sound something like this:
**Laughter comes from around the campfire while a splash is heard from some kiddos still lingering in the lake... crickets are chirping in the distance and the chorus of frogs and toads is beginning to be heard... a firework is set off at random while tent zippers are opening and closing on the hillside... the lull of talking gets less and less until there are only a few voices heard around the now small circle at the campfire... an occasional round of soft laughter rings out, and in the distance a coyote howls...**
Up and at em' for 4th of July breakfast!
I believe we are now up to 12 dozen eggs prepared on a large skillet over the campfire!
Two chipper girls who volunteered themselves for a picture (going on a limb and saying they weren't campers...)
fish in a bucket.
snapshots of mystery man...
Sagey was loving on Diesel for quite some time!
Emerging into the public for the parade.
We had a blast with these bumper balls this year!
This year Phil made backstraps for lunch on the 4th and it was voted in as a tradition that must be continued. :)
A small crowd waiting ever so patiently for the next batch...
Tucker had something stuck in his shirt that stung him a few times... nurse Beth to the rescue :)
Jake and Mary held a watermelon eating contest this year, Teresa ended up winning the contest... and the rest of us enjoyed the entertainment! :)
Phew, that's all I've got! Thanks for the opportunity to celebrate, America!!
Looks like such fun!
