4th of July Parties

Its no secret that I love parties, and what a better day to celebrate with family and friends then the 4th of July!  So, why not have 4 parties?

Party #1- Backyard breakfast with the Ritchies - we had fun eating yummy french toast casserole and fruit, having races with the cousins, then listening to a few words from Aunt Vera and Grandpa Jim.

Party #2 - We headed to the park for a couple of hours for an "old-fashioned" celebration.  The boys competed in a watermelon eating contest. Logan loves watermelon as you can see.

The boys and some of their cousins had a blast cooling off at the dunking booth.

Party #3 - Dutch Oven Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Edwards.  Grandpa made yummy BBQ ribs and chicken and potatoes.  After dinner we played ladderball and a couple card games.

Party #4:  Neighborhood Fireworks with Dutch Oven Cobbler and Homemade Ice Cream!  We had lots of families, lots of fireworks, and lots of treats.  I wish I would have gotten more pictures, but I was a little tired at this point, and wanted to just enjoy the moment.
