4th of July - 2012

I don't have many pictures to post from this year's 4th of July festivities from Mike & Donna's annual party.  Between the 100° degree temperature and the fact that it fell on a Wednesday, attendance was definitely down this year.  Those that were there mainly stayed in the somewhat more comfortable shade of the awning.

Here's what pictures I did get...

(Denise and Payton playing in the sand.)

(I think Payton was scoping out some good sand to dig in!)

(Triston and Daddy Shane.)

 (Payton gettin' his life jacket put on.)

(Bryson just floatin' around the shore.)

(Bryson on the floatie and Payton nearby in the water...looks like an ornery moment just waiting to happen!)

(Shane taking Triston for a little swim in the floatie.)

I had tried to get some pictures of the paddle boat races, but there just wasn't enough light for my camera to get a good picture of it.  In the midst of the race the participants had a few obstacles (bottle rockets) shot off by a couple of spectators!

Hopefully next year will have a better turn out.  This year I was ready to get some sunshine, but it was just too darn hot.  I'm going to have to grin and bear the heat at some point if I want my Casper white legs to get a tan on them ever this summer!
