Cousins are so much fun! It's always an added bonus to add a party to it. My nephew Conner turned three while he was here so we celebrated the 4th and Conner. My boys love Conner and always want to include him in all the "boy" things, but they love Grace just as much. They'd let her pull and grab on them and just say, "She likes it." Believe me, if their sister did anything remotely close to that they'd scream to high heaven! Grace seemed to like this game and would reward Daniel with a laugh.
For the 4th we had family games of frisbee, three legged races, and of course a water fight.
This was our photo finish for our three legged race. We almost won, but Grandma and Daniel surged ahead narrowly defeating us.
Our water fight started with the the little guns, but eventually progressed to water balloons. The saying, "I'm water and you're glue....something, something off of me and stick to you" seemed to hold true for those water balloons. They would either bounce off of people or break in the throwers hands. I love this picture of Ellie and Conner. They truly love each other and were so cute together. Conner was up for whatever Ellie wanted to play and Ellie loved being around him. It was the sweetest thing.
Without coordinating it, the girls wore stripes and the boys wore solids. Of course we had to take a picture! :-) I love this one of Katie and me and our girls.
A bit late, but I hope your Fourth was fun and your summer is as well. I'd love to hear how you all spent yours!
