Family Fun on the Fourth!!!


Rod had planning for the Roberts Family July 4th celebration. We decided that to include everyone, even those who don't like the heat for our normal 4th at Landa Park, we would plan a fun family party. We pulled out the current issue of Family Fun and got some ideas for food, games and fun...

Our menu was pulled pork sandwiches, apple cole slaw, jello salads and chips, veggies and desserts to round out things. Amy made a super cool American Flag jello. (not to scale)
Then we moved on to making t-shirts. Nothing like paint and small children to make a fun afternoon.

The artistic needs of the group having been met, we moved on to GAMES!!!
We played a relay with vaseline and cotton balls and a timer. This is harder than it looks.

Reese is ready to play.


Weston is glad to call everyone to order.


Kim hopes to repeat her "Cornhole" success from the cruise. We'll see...


The "Cornhole" judges get ready to judge.
