"Happy 4th of July" on the 17th of July

Bet you thought I forgot...well, ok I did forget. But we had an awesome party at my Mom & Dad's on the 4th. It was so much fun, no different to any of my other family get togethers.

Aside from the constant rain from the morning until 5:00 or so, an excellent time was had by all. Rain = Puddles! The little kids had an awesome time running & splashing through the puddles. And the photographic proof...

And the cool temperatures didn't stop the bigger kids from swimming. Olivia, Nathan, & Cassidy swam in the pool for a good hour after the rain finally quit. Then the mosquitos were going wild & feasting on the kiddos. We followed up the swimming with a ragball game, which is a Sturgeon family staple! Competitiveness is genetic, right? :) Who doesn't love a friendly game. Only pictures of the kiddos playing wiffle ball. I was in the action of the ragball game so I didn't get pictures taken.

Then after the festivites of the day we all packed up & headed to my Grandma & Grandpa's for the 2nd official "Tim Sturgeon Fireworks Extravaganza" - Tim feel free to coin that title for future use! ha! It was great & the kids had an excellent time. All of the "ooohs & aaahs" were much deserved.
