6th Annual 4th of July Fandango!

Matt's family celebrates the 4th of July like it is Christmas! Matt's mother, Debbie (aka YaYa), was this years Fandango chairman. This was the biggest and the best Fandango by far! This year the festivities got started on July 3rd and ended late into the night July 4th. We had 3 meals a day on Friday and Saturday, I think they served about a 150 people. There was a lot of activities during the day, and a band on Saturday night. We had a lake baby birthday party for the 3 babies that were born last summer. Colton turned one late June, Emma will turn one late July and Hodge will turn one on Aug. 5th. Matt and I played in the volleyball tournament and Hodge watched the older kids have sack races. They even had a dunking booth this year! My parents attended this year and really enjoyed themselves. Hodge was teething most of the weekend but overall he did great. Hodge took part in everything he could and was a great lake baby. He stayed up really late on the 4th and enjoyed the band with the rest of the older kids. The decor was great, the food was wonderful and the band was amazing. I must say Hodge's first Fandango will be one to remember. Thanks Debbie for all your hard work and for making this year's 4th of July a great weekend
