4th Of July Extravaganza (AM)

We had a fabulous 4th of July this year. It started with the Centerville parade. We were lucky to sit with the Fox family and were highly entertained by Skee and his very loud parade commentating. The family next to us loved it so much they requested he sit by them next year, however Angie, his wife, was no where to be found... Then it was off to an amazing home-made Cafe Rio lunch compliments of Kristi, Angie, Grandma B, and Me! We almost ate too much to swim! Which leads me to the next part...Swimming in Kristi's pool! The entire family had a blast. In honor of the soldiers that have given their lives for this country we thought it would be more true to life if we had a few life or death competitions.

There was jumping and sliding through the inner tube of death,

There was sliding down the slide of skin ripping into the pool if screaming eels, Which turned into sliding down the slide of skin ripping into the pool of screaming eels while shooting the basketball of fire into the hoop of danger and despair.
Which then turned into catching the football bomb and diffusing it under the water to save the innocent lives of the children in the pool.

Then the last and final competition was diving off the board of sandpaper and feet tearing over the pole of land mines and landing into the pool of screaming eels. I do believe the winner was Matt followed closely by Skee and Kristi. However for his age Hayden had amazing form and hardly splashed at all every time he entered the dangerous water. Everyone did an amazing job at diving and there was only 1 fatality to the screaming eels. Matt suffered a shoulder injury that was very horrible and infected due to the poison of the screaming eels (he is expected to make a full recovery).

After the parents pulled the kids out of the pool using all threats and force we ate yummy ice cream made by Grandma B and Popsicles also by Grandma B. Now you may wonder where I was in all the competition and death defying stunts...still nursing my 2nd degree burns from the land of the burning sun.
