Happy 4th Everybody

We had quite the busy 4th as I'm sure most did. We had parties, more parties, fireworks, firefly catching, and a parade. Everyone stayed up too late and ate and drank too much. It was fun but tiring. For some reason I also just discovered that I took zero pictures. Oops. Surprisingly Kristin took three. Not surprisingly, none of them really turned out.

Looks like they are all about to take a shit.

Firefly catching and fireworks at Cole's best friend Charlie's house. 

Since we apparently love sharing pictures, the recent, unrelated to the 4th, pictures I do have are below.

Somebody thinks he's a fucking riot. Goofball. 

Another round of illnesses occurred. We all got it and it lasted forever for Kristin and I. 

Cole learned how to cast a spinning reel. It didn't take him long at all. Seems like a natural. 

I built another yard game. Beersbee (a.k.a. Polish Horseshoes, Spanish Horseshoes, Frisbeener, French Darts). We are getting quite a collection. I think next will be ladder golf. 

We had a Fuchs Family Front Yard Yard Game Olympics (i.e. the FFFYYGO). Cornhole, giant jenga, beersbee and yardzee. Kristin's a poop and didn't play. Something about the house needing to be cleaned or something. I didn't really listen. I won most events. 

Cole lost another tooth and I lost another $5. His first upper. Just in time for the two weddings that he will be participating in. We keep putting these teeth in baggies and in his bin in the basement (where we store mementos and crap like that). Do people keep all their kid's teeth? It's starting to seem odd. And later, once I have them all, should I be making some weird mold of his mouth that I can stick his teeth on? That seems like it would be super creepy, but what should be done with all these teeth. I suppose the obvious answer would be to stop collecting them like some horror movie freak show.
