John and his brother are spraying down the slip n slide.  These pictures were taken early in the day.  We had several neighbors join us later in the day which made it even more fun.

Finn was not so sure about all this

Over the next month, the boys are very excited to see several of their cousins on both my side and John's side.  Our first cousin visit was over the 4th of July when John's younger brother, Jason, came up to visit us along with his two boys, Collin (9 years) and Carter (6 years).  All six boys had so much fun together.  They really played the entire time and barely stopped for meals.  Carter and Collin love baseball so they played many baseball games in the backyard.  Liam and Luke introduced them to street hockey on the driveway.  On the 4th of July, John and his brother took the big boys to see the Twins play the Yankees.  They went early to watch a little batting practice and to try and get a bobble head doll, both of which they achieved.  Following the game, we shot some fireworks in our driveway (these boys are CRAZY about fireworks and I am guessing this applies to ALL boys) before everyone headed down the street to watch the neighborhood fireworks.  

We also enjoyed a water park one day and on the final day we had a pool party with the slip n slide, pool, and swing set in our backyard.  John smoked a huge pork butt all day so we enjoyed a wonderful dinner after all the outside water fun.
