4th of July afternoon celebrations

In the afternoon we were invited to join with all the Woody clan for games and a cook-out dinner. Along with our cousins (Matt & Hannah and kids), and their Woody cousins, there were also some of Gayle's cousins, and several other old family friends. A good crowd! Gayle organized the games and prizes.

The games were underway when we arrived, but we got to watch "nail driving" and then participate in the water balloon toss. Here are all the kids lined up to go.

Timo and Adella were paired up, but didn't quite get the catching aspect of the game.

Adella just turned 4 last month, and is quite expert at blowing balloons now.

Phillip (9 years old next week) is AMAZING on the pogo stick. Earlier in the day he did 1,500 consecutive jumps!
 

Mattias staked out his usual spot, and didn't budge from here much!

For supper we all sat at the tables in the backyard while the kids ate quickly and then ran around some more. Classic summer evening (and the mosquitoes weren't too bad!). 

Gayle painted these boards for goofy photos(or throwing balls through)
