July 4th Dinner @ Grandpa & Grandma's

Post meal lounge session, everyone is too full to move and the sun was hot!

Jackson making his newest face, discovering yet another function for his little lips... so cute!


The littlest cuties chillin' in the pool.

It's too hot to move.


This game of Mexican Horseshoes took a long time to get started and then...

I was too slow to get the camera out for the wrestling match that led up to Papa Dan getting "gently" placed in the kiddie pool. However, here is the final result. It took both Danny and Jim to get him in there. It all started with some water guns and escalated from buckets, to hoses and finally the drenching. With everyone present, I think the only people who escaped the water were, Grandma, Sue and myself. Denny, Grandpa, Jim, Danny, Haley, Grace, Kelsey and Dan were the instigators for this portion of the day. Poor Jan, Jeff, Jeri, Jackson and Miranda were caught in the crossfire.

Dan Sr. and Dan Jr. "hugging it out"


Uncle Jeff protecting poor little Jackson during the mayhem.

Haley getting the hose... upside down no less.

and then Papa Dan, poor Jackson doesn't stand a chance.

Grandpa in on the action... defending himself from Gracie who's ready to bean him with a soaked foam ball.

Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky... on the perimeter ready to strike.

Miranda kicking butt in horseshoes. Look at Denny, having a chuckle. He spent the entire time squirting people from that seat~ no one had any idea until the end. Too funny!

Grandma back there smiling, I have it on good authority she supplied those water guns.



Once the sun set, Gracie, Sue and I went over to the Doll's house to light some sparklers and other minor fireworks in the back yard. They have a spectacular view from their deck to watch the fireworks that people light off themselves throughout town. It was a great weekend.
