Potato Gun Contest

So we spent the 4th of July holiday in Milton Freewater with Jeremy's family. There were a lot of people there that I had only met once or twice. And Kaden met all kinds of new people. It was also a big celebration of Max and Linda's, and Danny and Carol's 40th Anniversaries.

Heath created a potato gun. What is a potato gun you ask? It is exactly like it sounds, a gun that shoots potatoes. You use hairspray instead of gun powder, and a potato instead of a bullet. It was a lot of fun. Max sponsored a contest. Whomever could hit the target would win $20!

A what?

Kaden watches the festivities.

Grandpa Remboldt takes the first shot, followed by Emma.

Lily barely missed the target. Jacy goes next.

Madeline shoots while her sister Sammy says, "No way am I doing that!"

Lucy takes the next shot with Max assisting.

Jeremy and I take our turns and both miss.

We wanted to let Kaden hit the button, but when I got blasted with hot air and Jeremy got a touch of fire... we decided against it.

Max and Heath load the potato gun.

Linda shoots with her own style.

Heather steps up to the line.

Next come Aunt Carol, Uncle Danny and Toby.

Toby was the only one to hit the target... he had a dud shot, but it bounced along the ground and scored.

David and Monty

Max and Heath can't seem to find the target.

Toby is the winner! His girls were very excited!

Kaden makes the rounds, people to play with and new people to meet.

Uncle Monty gave the girls those pull popper things.

Lucy gathered up the confetti afterwards. "It's pretty."

The guys put on their Hawaiian shirts and head out to the golf course.

We had a great time. Kaden still didn't sleep well, but he did better this time. I was getting more than 20 minutes of sleep at a time, so that was a plus. He was, of course, the hit of the party.
