Fourth of July Party

Yesterday afternoon, we attended our third annual July 4th party at Steve's Uncle Walt's house. As usual, it was a fun, well-planned event. The buddies enjoyed a bounce house, a slip n slide, a pinata, way too much candy and treats, tons of lawn toys, and lots of attention from their great aunts and uncles.

The grown-up entertainment included a "Name that Theme Song" contest, Musical Chairs, and The Great American Candy Game, where 64 candies faced off, March Madness style. Hershey's was the big winner and we all enjoyed a nostalgic look at old favorites like wax bottles (yuck!), pixie sticks, Bazooka bubble gum, and Bit-O-Honey.

Best of all, we loved catching up with family members that we see just once a year. The buddies enjoyed horsing around on the lawn with their great uncles and Ben had a great conversation with Great Grandmom while she helped him open his juice box. We wish we lived closer to our fun relatives.
