Preston, um, 2010

Yeah, this is late.  But some of these pictures are absolutely priceless!

First, some of the classics.  Who knew a wagon could entertain a dozen kids for three hours?  Look how hard they're working!

Paige looks how I feel in this one.

My camera didn't open all of the way for this one (thanks Jack, for getting me a new one!), but I still love it.  

The sandbox.  Another effortless kid pleaser.

Jack's favorite entertainment-the cargo area of the stroller.  Who knew?

Yeah, there are a lot of pictures of my kids in here.  It's my post, so I can do that.

Next up, the parade! 

First, the kids made hats.

And then they marched around to show them off while we threw candy at them.  Fun for all.

One of my favorite parts, the obstacle course.  This was a HUGE hit and a lot of fun to watch!

Nola was super speedy.  I think she must get it from me.  ;)

The little kids got in on the action. 

And the big kids too!  

Scott was pretty spry for an old guy.  Don't tell him I said that.  

I love how competitive Grandma is.  

But she made me a little nervous.  I was glad when Richy gallantly stepped in.  

Another Holliday classic, the horseback riding!  

I miss Lucy's spunky little do.  It just suited her so well.  I have to admit, though, I was about ready to punch the next kid who asked if she was a boy.  

And last, but not least (also, not chronologically correct, but whatever), the Minute to Win It games.  These are cropping up at Holliday parties and Pack Meetings everywhere (and I love them every time).

Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of all of them.  They were really fun!  

I think this is actually when I pulled the camera out.  One of Linnell's boys was asleep on the ground, totally oblivious to the tortillas landing on him.  Cracked me up!

Now I'm excited for this year!  Except that I have to actually do things.  Dang.  

Also, I'm pretty sure Dalton was with us, but I didn't manage to get a single picture of that kid.  He moves too fast!
