Independence Day Family Fun

4th of July was spent with my Mom's side of the family at my Aunt Anne and Uncle Donnie's house. As always, there was lots of family, lots of food, and lots of laughs.

Quentin playing a washer toss game with GG.

I am not sure if he actually threw any, or if he just liked collecting them all when she threw them!!

After trying to teach the kids to jump rope, then they started to do the limbo:

Andrea, Aunt Sure, Raven, and Aunt Barb being silly trying to limbo.

Quent wants to give it a try too.

And Aunt Barbie shows him how:

Jack decided that he wanted to do some skateboarding.
Not only is this the most fun way to skateboard when you are 3, but it is the safest way to do it too! Momma approved!

Oh, he only LOVED it a little!!

Aunts and Uncles shootin' the breeze.
(Anne, Erin, Jack, Jean, and Jim)

More chatting!
(My Dad, Uncle Eldon, Uncle Dan and Aunt Margaret)



Alex and Tyler made fast friends in the pool. It was way too cold to be swimming, but they didn't care. Both of them had blue lips when they were made to get out!!

Brrrrrrr!!!

And Jack found a new friend in Anne and Donnie's puppy, Nicky.
Oh, if only our household was not allergic. This kid would love to have his own dog, but visiting others will have to do :(

He laughed and laughed as that puppy chased and bit after this toy. This went on for a long time and he talked about it for days!!

We did not stay for fireworks, maybe next year when we Jack and Quent are a little older and can handle staying up late a little easier. Even so, we did have a good time on 4th of July!!
