OK! I could have taken more pictures but I couldn't. With all the 20+ kids and 15 adults - Mark and I were in the kitchen making pizza's the whole time (we made 10) The kids we outside enjoying the 85 degrees running around in their bathing suits with waterguns, riding bikes, playing football, cornhole, playing barbies in the room or whatever they did to stay busy! I finally cleaned up the kitchen and we had clake outside on the back deck after the sun went down - it was wonderful! I'll have to get a shot of the back deck now that it's all finished.
