We had so much fun as a family this year celebrating the fourth of July. Adam actually had the day off, all he wanted to do was relax and enjoy the day. We had an afternoon barbecue with my side of the family. It was nice to do something in the afternoon. Everyone in the family brought something to the picnic. We made cupcakes, with ice cream on top of them. They tasted like bite sized ice cream cakes. Russell and Amber brought a sweet potato casserole which was delicious. Mom and Dad provided the chicken, potato salad and baked beans. It was a great meal. Brittany set up her old pool and slide for the kids to play in. Emilee loved it, she played in the pool before and after we ate. She had fun going down the slide and landing in the water. She loved splashing anyone she could reach.
Brittany was finally convinced to join her niece and nephew in the pool. Emilee decided to help her down the slide. She kept telling her she would catch her, and she kept her word and did catch her.
Later that evening we went to the Yorgasons for a Barbecue, it was great food. There was so much to choose from. After dinner we talked for a little while, then the guys decided to throw a softball to each other. When they were done we played a family game of kick ball. I haven't played kickball since I was in elementary school. It was so much fun to play again, and with everyone. We played girls against boys, the little kids where on the girls team. We really didn't keep score, but everyone thinks the girls won. We played until it started to get dark, then we got ready for the fireworks. It was fun to watch the fireworks, thank you to everyone who brought some. The fireworks were a great ending to a wonderful day. Emilee and Adam playing with a sparkler.
