July 4th Celebration!

Our town usually does a great fourth of July celebration at a local park. However, this year with all the high water, the park was flooded and the party had to be canceled. Well, we still needed to have some fun, so we recreated some of the activities that the town usually has at my sister Lynae's house.


First, we started off with a flag ceremony and a great breakfast cooked by David and Lynae and I'm sure others contributed. Daryl and Aaron certainly look happy to be there so early in the morning!



Later, mom judged the coloring contest. Each participant received a new pack of crayons and the winner (it was Shenna by the way) received a high five!



We played a ton of silly games. Here are three participants in one of them; Jarom, Josh and Kameron.






Another example of the games we played is profiled above. We had to spell out words with our bodies. Can you tell what is being spelled?



To top off the morning, we had a candy drop. Aunt Lynae threw candy off her roof to the waiting crowd below!


It was a fun time spent together with some of the family.
