Fourth of July

A few pictures from our Fourth-of-July-Wienie-Roast-over-the-firepit. First of all, my plan was to do this on the 3rd, since that's the night we went to fireworks but due to a breakdown in communication, we had no wood. Secondly, when you have all girls, the word 'wienie' only refers to 'hotdogs', not body parts.

We started with some hula-hooping. I must say, that I think their skill comes from playing WiiFit.
(and yes, that is their pathetic excuse for a trampoline in the background...okay?)

G has also become a master hula hooper. Super de dooper hula hooper. Gosh I need to pooper hula hooper. Sorry.... I'll stop now.

M on the other hand..... she needs help. Thankfully, she has an obliging sister as you can see from the following.

G eating a slightly warmed wienie. Some of my children don't have enough patience to fully cook the wienies.

Here's a slightly different angle and crop on the same setting. NO, that is not her drink. The DaddyMan's chair was next to hers so he borrowed a cup holder. It made me laugh when I saw it which is why I'm including it. I was raised in the 70s and there are tons of pictures of me with beer cans. I turned out just fine. (shut up!)

Piper the Wonder Dog guarded the food. She's very good at what she does. So good in fact that you had to step over her to get to the food as M's demonstrating. :)

A and I had a s'mores eating contest. I let her win. She ate 3, I had two. I so could've beaten her but every so often I like to give her self confidence a boost. Okay, really, I was saving room for all the Twizzlers I knew I'd eat during the fireworks.
