We played a game where you had to throw these ball things onto a pipe thing and had a blast with it. We had a tournament with brackets and everything.

Cheryl, Brent, Shannon and Andrew. Just enjoying the back yard.

My sister-in-law, Ashlyn, and her sister, Briana.

Steve and Dad go head to head.

Steve and Ryan were kicked out of the tournament. Tyler offered little consolation.

This pic is blurry, but I loved my intensity and Dad's macho pose. :)

Home made ice cream sandwiches. *Drool*

More of nature's fireworks.

Most of our fireworks were fountains up on a ladder. They're so much cooler that way. Sadly, I have no pictures of our other, more "awesome" fireworks.

Sparkly....

We gave everyone sparklers and opened the shutter on the camera for 30 seconds. I like how it turned out. :)

very cool...and the ladder idea is fabulous, i might be stealing that one for the 24th! (and that game you were playing with the golf balls and pipes we randomly call "horseballs"...kinda like horseshoes, but with balls :)
ReplyDeletehorseballs, lmao. what a lovely tradition. what did you guys spell out? I see that it's 4 letters and starts with f... ;)
ReplyDeleteA 4 lettered word huh? Your skill are incredible, the things you can do with a camera!
ReplyDeleteAnd, did you make the horseball game? And maybe you should hang a set of those from underneath your car:O
The game is actually called "Bongo Ball." Don't ask me how I know that but I did grow up in the backwoods of TN.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought the F resembled more of an E. At first glance, I see the word, "Everyone." See what you like, though, I guess. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you all for the clarification on the ball game thing.
