Second Annual Front Yard Luau

Today was our final day of Summer Xtreme, and though Daddy was pretty wiped out and exhausted - there's always enough energy for a luau! Tonight, Ye-Ye and Nana had invited us over for the Second Annual Front Yard Luau, where there were all sorts of games and activities set up. The first of which was the limbo where we tried to answer the age old question, "How low can you go?" Madison, it turns out, can go pretty low. Daddy's back, however, cannot!

Inside, there was chicken teriyaki, corn on the cob, watermelon, and delicious pineapple upside cake! We enjoyed a wonderful meal together while listening to Hawaiian music - mostly from "Lilo & Stitch." Afterwards, it was time for more activities!

What luau would be complete without a potato sack race? Madison enjoyed this one because she likes wearing new outfits, and she simply looks stunning in her giant Hawaiian "Aloha" sack.

The racers were off, and this year Jonathan was across the finish line first. But the games were not over after that: Mommy won a tossing game that seemed so easy for her - and very hard for the rest of us.

One activity involved a water balloon toss that got everybody a little wet! This led to an all-out battle with water balloons, which Madison was gleefully involved with! She really liked the water balloon catching game, but simply throwing water balloons around at everyone was very much fun!

It was a great night that ended with watching "Lilo & Stitch," of course. Madison hit the bed early tonight, and come to think of it... Daddy needs to do that too!
