Both the Dieckmans and Barkoudahs traveled to the farm to celebrate the 4th of July with family. Once of the first activities was a friendly game of softball. There were some good plays and some goofy plays. In the end I believe everyone had fun.
Sometimes just hanging around is enjoyable with family.
Victoria brought her first make-up set with her to the farm. The girls didn't take long to beautify themselves. There was certainly a lot of color and glitter on 4 little girls.
Cornhole and shucking oysters with beautiful weather... a great combination.
It doesn't necessarily matter what the activity is per say as long as it's with the cousins!
Oma and Izzy created this unique 4th of July pie inspired by a Reader's Digest cover picture. Not too shabby ladies! And of course yummy as these are cherries from Oma's cherry tree.
Another tradition... heading to the pool. The older kids wanted to head to Beatrice as it has larger slides and more diving boards. Micah and Victoria were braver this year than last with Micah even going down the pink slide all by himself!
Fireworks always start with the parachutes.
And who is going to get the giant parachute.... Amelia!
Another pre-firework activity... car races. Victoria was super excited as it was looking like she would win. But in the end she was robbed by Shane. Maybe next year.
New this year was the girls becoming creative in how to light smaller fireworks. While Avery has been doing this over the past few years, the girls were more reserved. This year their creativity lead to a fiery mountain of snakes and various combinations of smoke bombs.
The men were our hosts of the larger fireworks show. Micah was exceptionally excited to be a part of this group/activity this year.
Ohhhhh..... Ahhhhh.....
The finale.
