The 4th of July was a blast again this year. We had 65 in attendance, our largest crowd yet. We added a new attraction this year....the 55 ft. adult sized slip n slide. It was a hit with the kids for sure. Mark gave a demonstration of how well the adults could slide on it as well. He also won the mens potato sack relay! I opted out of both events this year. =) We enjoyed a great BBQ and all the sides were delicious! ( o.k.... so I didn't try them all, but they all looked great!) We had the construction "crater" and somehow managed to not have any accidents involving any part of it... the kids were very well behaved! There were over 30 of them! We played some games like sack races and soggy jog relay and the kids enjoyed some squirt gun action. This year they managed to not soak any of the adults, a good thing! Our crowd was smaller for fireworks but those who stayed got to enjoy over an hour of the colorful display. We did have 3 small spot fires, but the men were able to put them out and no one was injured in the process. Though, I'm told that someone sacrificed a good pair of crocs in the big water ditch. Next year we hope to start something new with a 4th of July grand prix!!!! The boys are quite excited already. Hope you all enoyed a wonderful holiday as well. God bless the USA!!!!
