4th of July 2016

 We invited a family we really love that is in our ward in Georgia to be with us for our morning 4th of July pancake breakfast and races.  They did a little lesson on the 4th of July and what it means and why we celebrate it.  
 It was perfect and Kendall had all of the kids completely interested.
Saying to pledge and talking about the flag.
 My decor struggled a little bit.  I got this table covering in the 4th of July section of Hobby Lobby, but as Palmer pointed out...it looks more like France.  Oh well...
 We did our traditional pancake bar for breakfast.





 This was McKay's pancake.

 This sister missionaries also came for breakfast.
 Yum, sugar crazy.

 Kids table complete with bacon mustaches.
 Then we did our obstacle course.  Josh always thinks up for things for the obstacle course.




 Jump roping uphill is not for the weak!


 Lincoln against Reed.  Reed was so hilarious!





 The Peterson's have a dog that looks just like Sasha, so they were happy to give Sasha some loves.
 The dads compete.  Giving each other a friendly handshake before they start.  Nice of Josh to use my new dishtowel as a bandana. 









 I have always wanted to do pie eating contest and I realized with 5 boys...this was the time.  
 It was hilarious to see the boys dive into their pie (it was really just chocolate pudding and whipped cream). 



 Pie eating contest champion (with some pudding flicked onto him by a helpful brother).
The whole group.
