4th of July

To keep the Gossman Family 4th of July picnic alive after Aunt Dolly passing last year we went down to Mar Vista Park to celebrate! 

 

We stayed the night prior with Dave's Uncle Stan and Aunt Nancy.  The boys got used to playing with Libby, their 10 month old lab, even enjoyed a walk with her.  Stan made great tacos for dinner and we enjoyed our evening drinking wine and chatting. 

 

The picnic was fun, but not as big as it has been in years past.  There used to be a softball tournament and lots of games.  Next time we go down we'll have to add a few more games to the mix because Garrett and Gannon loved the games.  Thanks to Uncle Billy we had a water balloon toss that the boys completely enjoyed.  I'm pretty sure they could have played with the water balloons all day.  After each having a balloon broke on them we had one left so my solution was to put them back to back so they both got splashed.  Uncle Stan brought the eggs for the egg toss and Dave picked a back partner because I broke the egg on the second round.   It's always fun to sit and visit with cousin Erin and see everyone else that we only see at this event.  That may change this year!
