Soccer Party @ Hodge House!

Even though our final tournaments got rained out last saturday, we kept our end of season party on sunday since it was already planned and everything. We had a good turnout and it was beautiful weather. Besides juggling Frankie & Eustace between me, mom, Amanda and Susan, the only real problem was the flies. Yuck! We should have set up our fan to blow them away because the traps did nothing :( unfortunately the flooding we have had the past few months made them worse.

   I didn't get too many good pictures this time, but here's what I have---a few kids left before getting to the fun stuff----the water balloons, silly string, bubbles and poppers!

We got this play water table for the toddlers, but the older kids played it in too :)

 Amanda & Kevin got here early to help with everything...even the night before :)

Layla was ready for fun!

 Surprisingly no major injuries..that I know of?!

 Everett and John talking about work..:P

 Dranks...and a couple hundred water balloons hidden behind the kiddie pool. John worked hard on those!

 Boys playing gladiator...and then Lucas hiding behind balls haha.

James and Kim stopped by to drop off the Costco pizzas.. and make out haha

 Frankie was too scared to go jump, so he watched at the window.

 Our premature-celebratory cake!

 Frankie liked Gary :) He's a good dad.

 Barrett gets down on some cheese pizza while John cuts the cake

 Time for water balloons!

 These bins were very heavy!

 This is a nice shot of Susan's back--just before walking into the line of fire and getting a water balloon to the stomach! (from superman no less!)

 Here we have Travis bombing Lucas:

 Now it's time for silly string:

 Here's my mom looking nice in white--she asked me to play some music. It was good practice so I obliged :)

 Justin, John's coworker played a bit too! I hope some friends will come to my gigs if I play a few this year--I usually go alone and sit alone and pig out on my breaks :P

  It was a beautiful day and we had fun. The kids were all well-behaved and we are anxious to play our tournaments next weekend!
