Fourth of July

 Start with the parade and all the regulars like Grammie and the Rigby Jones, but this year we have the Listons as well.  Tommy got the hug from the creepy guy in the parade.

Happy Fourth!

July Fun with the Listons

The Listons came to visit as they often do around ourth of July.  It one of our favorite times to play hard.  So this is what happened before the fourth.

We started out with a killer game of volleyball, boys against girls.  I'm pretty sure the girls won.  I honestly can't remember.

 

Cartwheels, lets see who can do them.

 Kyle is definitely a contender.

Jeff, Travis and Tommy gave it a go.

The Human knot!

Making a cardboard boat for the canal/ditch

Off we go to give it a try.

 This will be the best one we've ever done!

 They tipped it before they really got started.  They still gave it a try.

 Tommy's always a good sport. 

 This is what we learned.  1. The boat needs to be wider to stay afloat when two big heavy kids are floating.  2. Someone should hold the boat when getting in.  3. It doesn't matter how much duck tape you have it water gets inside.  It was a pretty cool looking boat!!!!

Next on the agenda is the water fight!  

Kyle and Jeff duking it out.

Travis getting in on the action.

Kyle's Retaliation.








What usually happens is everyone gangs up on Jeff by the end.

And he usually deserves it!😉

 Hiding out until it's all over.
