How I spent my summer vacation.......Part II

Our friends Kenneth and Susie (with Wyatt and Dylan), and Aaron and Sandy (with Bella and Marley) came over for a cookout on the Fourth. Grace, Bella, and Wyatt are all within 12 months of each other with Grace being the oldest. Alison, Marley, and Dylan are all within about 4 months of each other with Dylan being the oldest of the 'next' generation. The kids had a lot of fun playing together and practicing sharing........next year, we're getting a couple of sitters to watch the 6 kids. We figure we'll go stand on the barge that launches the Chicago fireworks display.......it'd be quieter and less hazardous for the adults than this year's cookout.

Marley and Alison have a cute contest.....

Marley practices a little-known ancient baby martial art, Yi Poo Mi; Alison is amused.....

Dylan joins the feet in the air contest......

Ah, here's the older bunch getting ready for the backyard water park......



Grace hogs the slide while the others bow in reverence......

Wyatt sprays Grace with the hose.....


Mommy flips Grace down the slip and slide.....


Here comes Crash....
