This last weekend we went to my parents for a family reunion and to celebrate the 4th of July! We had so much fun together. The kids had such a great time. Every night we played games and laughed until we cried and then laughed some more!
Aunt Gayle brought a pinata. The kids are waiting for their turn.
And then the explosion and kids everywhere scrounging for candy & toys! ;)
Eliza is already eating candy...
Cousin Emily is wearing the pinata as a hat... 
And then cousin Jayden wanted to try it on too... 
All the kids going through what they scored on. 
The kids hanging out talking in an empty pool...
Then it was dress-up time. This is Eliza... 
Lane... 
Lane & Olivia... Lane was loving the nose glasses. 
Then we were off to the fire works at my sister Alisha house. The kids had a blast. 
Saturday the kids finally got to play in the water! They had a great time. They played before dinner and then as soon as they were done they played again.
The pool fun got cut a little short for Eliza and Olivia though! They thought it would be fun to push Lane's head under the water and hold it down! Poor Lane gasping for air! So they got whisked away for naps. Olivia slept from 3:30ish until 7:15 am the next morning! I think she was a little tired!
THENNNNN.... The grand finale was the twinkie race. Grandma covered a twinkie in cool whip and then put a string around it, tied it to the side of the ladder and who ever ate the twinkie first won! All the kids did it but I was in the house making a fruit pizza, however my niece came and told me that Gayle and Tori were going to do it and seriously I couldn't MISS that!!! So I'll have to wait for the pictures that everyone else took of the kids but here are the pictures of Gayle & Tori!!! :) The dueling sisters... 
Mouths OPEN... 
Ready set CHOMP... this is were Tori started to laugh and couldn't stop she spraying Gayle in the face with cool whip! It was the funniest thing ever! 
I even got some video of it! Sorry guys! But it was so GREAT! :)
