Our Family’s July 4th Celebration

Part 3 ~ Dripping Water, A Running Tent, Opening Ceremony

 

 

 

I know this picture looks like I am featuring Jesse’s PlayDoh, but in reality I want you to look at our son Jeff (left) who is getting ready to drop some water on Jared’s head.

 

 

Jeff always did it in secret – quite a few times – and Jared said, “That bird peed on me again.”

Finally, after Jeff dropped water on his head in a rather noticeable action, and Jared saw who it was, he said, “It was you all the time, wasn’t it?”

Oh, look! The tent now has long legs.

 

 

 

 

It’s Nathaniel having fun with the boys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, just before the big guys set off the fireworks, Nathan said he was in charge of our opening ceremony!

 

 

 

 

I can’t figure out how (or why) he does this, but the guys were impressed.
