Yesterday was another fun filled day!
About 5 years ago my brother and sister...who live across the lane from each other and their other 2 neighbors decided that the 4th of July deserved a huge celebration!
The 9 kids who lived out there were young so the parents rented a jump house for the kids....
We all had lunch together ...and then a huge potluck supper....
In between we had a scavenger hunt for the kids and the adults played horse shoes...
The evening extended and we had a huge baseball game....2 teams with everyone playing....so there might be 15-20 on the field at the same time!
Then of course the evening ended with fireworks!!!
We could also see the huge firework display in Melba from their center culdesac! 
Fast forward a few years and the kids are to old for a jump house and scavenger hunts
But the fun continues.....
Now the kids play horseshoes with the adults....
The kids are even bringing their favorite dessert concoctions!!!
This years hit was red white and blue jello parfaits brought by the Senn Brothers!
Prettiest was Mallories fanned strawberries that decorated her cupcakes!
The kids are way more competitive in Baseball.....they have no mercy for their Aunt Debbah! LOL
I lost count of how many friends and family attended but I am sure it was over 50....
The sun was out ...but the canopies were plentiful....and we all ate til we were stuffed!!!
Between barrel chicken and smoked pork loin....and a ton of other side dishes we had plenty to choose from.
Here are a few pictures of this years festivities!
