Ice-Blocking on the 4th!!!

What is Ice-Blocking you say? Well, it involves a block of ice, a grassy hill, and preferably a towel (so your sweet bottom doesn't get wet and frozen). Sit on the ice and slide down the hill and squeel like a little girl (but only if you ARE a girl if not - whoohoo like a manly man)

A whole grundle of pictures to follow!!

Scroll only if you dare!!!

No bones were broken in the taking of these photos!!!...and a ton of fun was had by all!....bet you wish you'd been there!

Starting out you don't go too fast, but once the grass gets wet and the ice starts to melt ---that's when the real fun begins!!

(below my niece Jamie on the right- love your guts babe!)

Had to try a train..

My baby had to be in on the action. See she has a need for speed --- it's all about the thrill for her. It's all about keeping her alive for me. Luckily my sister and my oldest held baby's hand so she could be a part of the fun and not break another arm. Thanks sis and big sis!

The beginning of the end of the train! Doesn't look like Mr.Man is having too much fun. They wrecked somewhere between shots and the ice kept traveling without them.

The aftermath-----yep---Mr.Man didn't enjoy that too much. Everyone else survived.

The girls decided to go down the hill side by side holding hands. Lets see how that worked out for them, shall we?

I say K- wins for the most graceful fall caught on camera!

Duder has declared himself king of the ice!

So, not long after we got to our ice-blocking spot Mr.Man started saying he had to go to the bathroom. I kept saying, "You just went. You'll be fine. Just hold it."

I'm happily visiting with the family when I hear this from my other kids, "Mom!!!! What's he doing?" I look up to see my boy across the way standing next to a tree with his pants down taking care of business. Did you go behind the tree? NO!!!! He was standing right next to it giving it a big drink!!!! YUCK!!! So I didn't take a picture of him then but snapped it as he ran back to the group happy and ready for more adventures!

FINALLY---here's my man!

Face first on his stomach!!!

Yeah the kids tried it after he did it!

I didn't!

I was proud of him though!

Last but not least Grandma broke out the ice cream treats. By far everyone's favorite part!!!


Thanks for the good times family!!! I loved it!
