4th of July night

We got invited to a BBQ out at the Nelson's house for the 4th of July so that's where we ended up around 5:30. The night was entertaining to say the least =)

Matt and Danny (Matt plays softball with Chad and is also his old manager from Truck and Farm) invited us out along with the rest of the softball team to enjoy the 4th with them. A lot of the team showed up so it was a good time =) We spent the majority of the night eating, laughing, drinking (okay so not me but most everyone else), and playing games. We played dingle berries (aka horse balls or ladder golf, but Shay kept calling it dingle berries) and washers and some of the guys played in the pool and all the kids played in the pool and ran around the yard. For the record, Shay and I partnered up all night, and only won one game, so we may have to try our luck next time to win more games!

Sadly though, Matt's dog Davidson (not sure of the spelling) jumped up to catch the ball while playing and fell and broke his hip! So Matt and Chad took him to the emergency vet and spent about an hour there, he goes in Monday for surgery, poor dog.

Here are some pictures from the bbq

Playing washers....

and dingle berries (horse balls/ladder golf)

Many attempts were made to jump onto this walrus off the railing. Matt had the longest time, of 4 and some odd seconds, and then it popped, so that ended that fun.

We watched some fireworks.....

And then the night was over =) I had to work early today so we unfortunately didn't stay much longer after the fireworks. There were some other things that took place during the course of the evening but other than that, this was our 4th! =) Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th!!!!
