Fourth of July was sunny and perfect for a day of fun. We started off the day with the annual breakfast at church.
Lex ate her plate clean
Then after a brief stop at home it was off to great-grandma's house for more food and games.
Lex found Uncle Jeff and Aunt Brin to eat with.
We were in charge of games for the 5-11 year olds. We decided to go carnival style and looked up some games. We had a variety of games with some being more popular than the others. We used pool noodles as javelins. We hooked three hula hoops together like the Olympic rings and had them toss a ball in them. We had darts and balloon basketball. We also had a swimming pool that had rubber duckies in it. The object of the pool game was to use squirt guns and have a race to see who's duck could make it to the other side first using the squirt guns only. However, a couple of my favorites were Plinko and Toilet Toss. Yes we made them and as far as I am concerned they turned out great.

Grandpa brought balloons and one of my cousin's husband knew how to make hats and swords. My kids were in heaven.

After we were gamed out we headed over to grandpa's for some sparklers. We had to forgo the fireworks because daddy had to work the next day.

Then we or he got brave and did one alone.
Our beds were waiting for us when we got home and I, at least, happily climbed in.
