Bocce Barbecue!

So yesterday Kaylee decided to have a few guests over. Since her great Auntie Lynn and Uncle Mike were leaving to go home to the Seattle area the next day, she wanted to see them off in style and decided to throw a little barbecue for her family. In attendance: Auntie Lynn, Uncle Mike, Grampy, Auntie Jacqueline, Great-Grandma Chip, Bob, Pookie, and her friend Bailey and her mother Shana (though there's no photo proof of those last 2) and of course Mommy and Daddy.
After we had the good eats: salad, fruit salad, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and cookies (Mommy was busy that morning) we decided to play that family favorite: Bocce Ball. And we definately have the yard for it, lots of hilly terrain just to make it interesting.
And of course, its the most fun when everyone plays at the same time, no use letting people get good at it, one ball for everyone!
You can see that Auntie Lynn was really getting into it, although Daddy and Grampy seem to be interested in the patterns on the balls.
And Mommy couldn't resist making everyone do a stupid pose...I mean what is Bocce without everyone being silly anyway?
Look Auntie Lynn managed to take a picture with Mommy that Mommy actually likes!

And here's Kaylee watching the Bocce festivities with Great Grandma Chip and Pookie--go team go!
Kaylee was kind of fussy the whole week when Mike and Lynn were here, she is going through a very Mommy phase right now...but she did finally manage to let Mike hold her on the very last day, if only for a moment!
And what could Kaylee be so happy about now that we went inside to have some cookies?

Why its the fact that she decided to let Auntie Lynn hold her for a moment before she left! OK, maybe that's not what she was happy about...but I figured I had to try!
Oh! This is what she must be happy about, we decided to let the expert golfer (Uncle Mike) show us how it was done with Wii Golf! Even Daddy got into the swing of things! (nyut nyut nyut)
You can see the rest of the crowd was absolutely rivited by this rousing round of golf. Its almost as exciting as watching the real thing (please understand the voice in my head that narrates as I type is dripping with sarcasm here.)
Oh yeah, and on Friday, June 29th we went down to Grammy and Grampy's to have some good nosh there and besides the attendees above, add to the list: Auntie Diana, Cousins Don and Beth and Auntie Jackie's hubby Darren!
Woot! I am doing well so far for a Monday morning, I wonder what this week will have in store.

Happy 4th everyone:)
