Red,White and Blue Party

For our July 4 party our ward had a Barbecue with hamburgers and hot dogs and all the fixings.Potato salad and southwest black bean salad, fruit salads and chips. Homemade Ice Cream{one was Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream made with real mint}for dessert to complete the dinner.The Primary kids sang Patriotic songs. After we had three pie eating contests,one for adults, teens and smaller kids. Followed with the Battleship game using water balloons. They hung up sheets on a rope and had all the girls lie down on the grass on one side, and the boys on the other side of the sheets that were hanging. Then they took turns throwing water balloons over to see if they could hit someone with a water balloon,on the other side of the sheets. Then that ship was sunk and they were out of the game It was too dark by then to take pictures of this game.
