B&P 2009 4th of July boom boom POW.



i'm here to testify that our 4th of july just couldn't have been cooler. or hipper. OR chipper.....

the advantage of having ultra-cool friends would definitely be the fact that they throw ultra-cool parties--to celebrate the birth of all things american, steve & kamari hosted the first annual 'fourth of july family olympics'.

we knew things were about to get crazeeee when the official torch was ignited and each family was instructed to create a team flag for their 'country'. i think you'll be inspired by the GREATNESS DISPLAYED HERE:

then it was time to get down to serious business. the countries competed in six different water-events:

ring toss
raft float
underwater swim
belly flop
ping pong ball gather
cannonball


some participants weren't particularly interested in competing. only canoodling:
our men took the cannonball event VERY seriously. there was huge amounts of testosterone in the air. neal took it to the next level by jumping off of the garage roof. (even after stevekemp said, "absolutely NOT.") :


we swam and played and swam and ate and swam and giggled and then swam a little bit more:


it was the BEST OF TIMES.

Ummm... by posting this...you have seriously hurt my marriage! It is no wonder I think I need to spend EVERY single holiday in San Jorge...and Caylor has had it! My friends up here ( what friends) pretty much suck and I have had it with all the rubbing in! I used to be part of the origianals and I resent the fact that the parties didn't stop ( only seemed to get bigger & better, but with more kids so it is a trade off) when I moved. Please quit flaunting the fabulousness of your friends and do your laundry, or scrapbook for hell's sake.
