Summer Fun at the James'

The stars of the afternoon...

Kieran's turn yielded solid hits but no candy.
Actually Tyler's second turn (with a baseball bat) proved to be no match for the pinata and the candy spilled out on to the tarp. Mass chaos ensued, of which I didn't catch a single decent picture, but no fists were thrown and no blood was spilled and everyone walked away with a decent load of candy.

Chase really got into his cake
Ava taking a swing at the pinata!
Cayden was one of the "older" kids, so he had to wear a blindfold. He still made some major contact with the thing.
Chase even had to have a turn..This kid is such a little cutie. You can't help but smile every time you look at him, even when he's crying, he's just sooo cute.

So, Aunt Misty and Uncle Todd and the girls organized a party for all of the young ones in the hall. Finally today the weather cooperated! What a day it was. We had a bounce house, water balloons, scavenger hunt, yummy food, oh yeah, and a pinata full of sugary sweets. All of the kids had a BLAST! The adults too. I gotta mention Dan Chitwood's role in the huge water fight. He and Jose' put in a great offensive against Val and Brit. Despite their efforts, the girls kicked their butts. Dan was still wet 2 hours later. HA! I wished I would've gotten a picture of him, but I didn't. Oh well. All of us loved the party! I have put in a few pictures of the fun times we had...
