July 2012
We traveled to Grandma and Pa's house on the same day the kids went berry picking.
We had a cookout in the 100 degree weather and I'm surprised the homemade ice cream ever solidified.
The kids worked hard at it.
They each took a turn to churn the ice cream.
UNC IS NUMBER ONE!
My brother in law is going to LOVE seeing this.
The girls spent a great deal of time practicing for a show. They had several stories and songs to dance to. They were very creative and we all enjoyed their performance, whether we understood it or not.
Acting out a story.
Dancing to Celtic Woman, one of E's favorite.
They were even so kind to invite the boys up to dance along with them. Wild and crazy boys.
Baby H loved the music and excitement. She spread her arms out wide and swayed side to side to the music. She was just as entertaining as the the big girls.
Ooo...I want to do that!
The big finale. Thank you...thank you!
We decided not to go anywhere for fireworks because we didn't really want to have 7 kids who are 6 and under out late, especially when half of them were frightened by loud fireworks anyway.
So we had a few mild and colorful ones in the backyard. The kids really liked the sparklers.
We only had three tiny burns, which happened when they touched the sparkler after the spark went out. One was on Cousin B and the other two were W. It didn't phase W. He just wanted more ice.
Cousin L running along the backyard.

The positions we find them in while sleeping.
Was he playing something?
The girls zonked.
The pets were sleeping as well.
They move constantly.
Barely hanging on.

Looks like a lot of fun! Love E's hair in the finale shot.
Who's number 1? We will never trust our children in your custody again!
