Excitment On The 4th!

Well we had an exciting 4th of July weekend! My Sister, Mel, and her family and my brother, Matt, were in town. They all stayed at my house. We had 9 kids, 5 adults, 5 dogs, and 2 cats all in my house. It was crazy but it was fun. We had the best 4th of July celebration ever. My mom and Al came over with Subway subs, munches, and drinks. The kids all had a 'front yard tail gate party'. They all ate their dinner in the back of uncle Franks truck. We brought out glow sticks for the kids and hung out in the front yard. All the guys shot off fireworks. We all had such a fun time. This is a picture of all the cousins together. I wont name them, there is just too many!


On Saturday the guys took the older kids out on Uncle Franks familys boat. I really don't know excatly what they did but they all came back wet. It was fun just hanging out with all the kids. The cousins really got to know each other, expecially Grace (3) and Matthew (5). They were inseperable all weekend. It has been 4 years since the cousins have been together. Everyone has grown in the 4 years and between us we have added 2 more girls and 2 more boys. The kids were all so good and got along so well. We can't wait to do this again soon.
