I still attest that 4th of July is my favorite, favorite holiday and this year's celebration did not disappoint! We were missing a lot of our normal guests due to a family function but had lots of new guests to fill our home on the BEST day of year!!!
The stage was set...
The candy bar is always a hit! This year we had more than 30 kids to help devour the goodies!
Lunch is ready for the yummy potluck dishes to arrive!

Every corner of the house was set with seating options. We had 20 families through the course of the day! It was awesome... I loved having such a big group of party-goers!

The garage was turned into a craft area and we installed a TV and carpet for the kids to play Wii.
We set up a bounce house in the front yard.
And... the pool of course kept the kids happy and busy!
The grown ups had their own "stations" to entertain...
I guess we would call these "the bar" and "the lounging area." Lol...
And... I guess we could call this "the WT-front yard-beer pong" station.
Some kids became fish that day...
While others found the candy bar!
We ended the night on balcony for 2 great firework shows...
The Derosas stayed for the fun!
And the Pawlacyks
And the DeNinnos
And (part) of the Panzicas

(This picture posted in the wrong place! I hate when that happens)
My feeling is that a sign of a good party...
...is an empty candy bar!
