There were all sorts of old time cars, horses, people walking through just waving flags. And these jokers.
Almost turns your stomach!Our kids had such a great time playing with their cousins.
Fireworks are never allowed in the county but especially this year. There was already enough smoke in the air to give everything a sort of hazy look. So Grandma arranged for a 4th of July Pinata.
My husband made the comment that this was a funny way to celebrate the 4th. A mexican game where we beat a flag? Well the kids had fun and ate a bunch of starbursts and skittles afterward. We found them stuck to them, the floor and many of the chairs in the house.And there was lots of swimming. Grandpa's pool got a work out. All the kids had a great time jumping off the board over and over, squirting each other with water guns, or just toodling around the pool.
Ian shows no fear when jumping off the board. He just flies through the air like superman.
I never could get a picture of Henry jumping off the board. He did it several times but he would often get up there and bounce and then get off and let one of the other kids jump in. 
Swimming at Grandma's is a highlight of the summer.
Every night while at Grandpa's house we take The Walk. This is just a stroll up their street. It is good for the kids to burn off some energy and the adult to burn off a few of the calories of all the good food served for dinner.
Cousins make the walk so fun!
The kids also helped Grandpa harvest some of his garden. They all love to go out with him to check his crops. This was a funny carrot they found.
They called it the Love Carrot.
So now we are back home. I still have to unpack everything and get it put away. The kids are sleeping in, which is great! They sure need it. We have had a number of late nights.
Thanks again, Mom
We had a great time.

We had a great weekend spent with cousins too! Although everyone came up here so we didn't have to go anywhere I still feel like I need a vacation to recover.
My dad told me a joke that I thought was pretty good.
"Do you know what will happen to our nation if Obama becomes president?"
"It will be an obamanation"
(abomination)
So true!
Oooh La La, that's quite the carrot!
Looks like you guys had a blast! We were having too much fun to take pictures of our Fourth, but we had a water fight & BBQ with our neighbors and then Amateur fireworks.
Love the love carrots.
And I'm in love with Sophie's red swimming cap. It goes perfectly with her swimsuit and is so cute.
I love the "Love Carrot!"
It looks like you all had so much fun and that the kids enjoyed their cousins. :)
Oh, and the pool looks fabulous too!
