JCLV Family Fair

Sunday was a big day at my house. 

 I hosted 45 3/4 family members for an afternoon of carnival games and family fun.  Krista and Laila could not come, Angie is very pregnant.  It was very fun to have everyone together and the kids had a blast.

The Games

I had made 7 carnival games and put up a couple of canopy tents in the backyard.

Aaron, Dana, Kris, Andy, & Gus in the chairs.

The weather was very hot and windy and that made the games be challenging.

Jordyn helped Charli with the bowling game.

Kaija and Wynni were checking out the games.

The youngest member of the family is Vincent, he and his Mom Linsey were at the party too.

Inside the garage we had The Stomp, left over bubble wrap from my move taped into big sheets.  It sounded like fireworks.

The kids really got into popping the bubbles.

The kids ran through the sprinklers and then we took their photo.

It was a very fun day and a nice family gathering.  Before everyone went home, I had lots of help cleaning up the yard and the kitchen.

Life is Good.
