4th of July Party

4th of July is definitely a perfect excuse for a Seamons ParTay! Most of the people we had over for last year's festivities have left town on vacation or permanently. [We miss you!] But I couldn't bare the thought of not having a 4th of July Celebration. Afterall, we are the Seamons!!! So I got outside my comfort zone and invited a few new people over to celebrate with us! {Don't get me wrong- we know and love these people too} It started out by just telling a few families, then an email to those I wasn't sure of their plans, to only 2 people saying they could not come. The rest would love to!!! WOW!!! Holy Party, Uncle Sam! We were lucky enough to have 74 people over for our 4th of July ParTay! Just for fun I want to list them just cuz that is a lot o' people!!! (I took pictures of most everyone but missed a couple- dang.. we should have gone over the Seamons Party Picture Rule before they came! LOL Also- if I biff up on names really bad- tell me and I'll fix them) We had Brett & Shay, Liberty, Justice, Victoria, Glory, Mike & Kellie, Morgan, Randy, Sydney, Mark & Katherine, Madison, Sydney, Dale & Becky, Josie, Zach, Jessica, Emily, Brad & Minka, Matt & Haylie, Ali, their High School friend & his girlfriend, Art & Marie, Erik & Ashley, David & Lauren, Jared & Katie, Garret, Adelaide, Greg & Lisa, Jessica, Joseph, Becky, James, Rob & Jen, Todd & Jen, Mike, Sam, Becca, Dan, Dave & Bonny, Naomi, Owen, Jeff & D, Phil & Alma, Allen & Beth, Jason & Jill, Landon, Logan, their 3 cousins, Jesse & Betsy, Zyler, Jaxson, and Josh & Emily. Now that is a LOT of amazing people! Thanks for coming everyone!

We laughed because we decided to do an Argentine Asado for an American Holiday but hey once again... we are the Seamons!! LOL Everyone pitched in for the meat and brought a side or dessert. Way, way yummy!!! Brett and Matt started cooking and were relieved of their duties by other BBQers after a while. I love that people just pitch in where they are needed. We have some awesome friends! It was so fabulous! There was so much to eat. And just as many desserts. Delicioso!

We couldn't have asked for a better weather day! It was hot but with a few fans and our umbrella tree, oh!and millions of popsicles- it was perfect! We were so grateful for the sunshine. We put out some water toys for the kids. They had a blast! Well except for 3 Zipline accidents. Dang! Slippery hands and a zipline are not a good combination. Luckily, they are all still walking. Other than that everyone ate, visited and played.

Thanks to everyone for coming! Hope it wasn't too crowded for anyone. We are so grateful you'd celebrate this great country we live in with the Seamons!

Happy 4th everyone!!!!
