4th of July

July 4th, 2013

Pancake Breakfast and Fun Run

Our Neighbor hosted a 4th of July full of fun for the kids.  Here are all the kids who decided to run a 1 mile fun run. 

It was amazing how many did it.

This is right before Benjo stops and says - "I can't run this fast FO-EVAH!  Ahhhh!"  Then he started running again because Dane was in front of him.

Here is Dane - just plodding along for fun.

 Lainey screamed at me for the first half of the race.  "Mom - where are the kids?!  What are they doing - Where are they going?!  They can't run!"  Then a nice girl called her a princess and said come on - so she started to run.  

HERE.

SHE.

COMES.

(And with a smile on her face, no less.)

Then she went back to help Kai.

Jed got to play some Baseball and some Volleyball.

Later that day - we went to the pool for some contests.

What you see below is the "Chuck your Child"

I have to say that Brett threw ours the farthest, hands down.

You can't see him right away - but Dane is in the air.

And Ben - I didn't quite get all of him.  But - he is up there.

Cody and Jed - up to no good.

Real Gangsters. 

The Three Amigos.

Here is Ben Diving for his soda.  

The fourth was jam packed and we had a great time.  We were so glad that Jed could spend it with us!
