We spent the 4th of July at my Uncle Jerry's for his birthday and 4th of July party. Quite a lot of family came out from all over on both sides for the festivities. It was a lot of fun meeting some new friends and re-connecting with some family we had not seen in a while.
We were introduced to the game of
Stump. I can't believe that I have gone this long in my life and not come across this game before! Basically you stand around a stump and take turns attempting to hammer another persons nail into the stump fully. What makes the game hard is that you have to flip the hammer first and catch it before taking your turn and in one fluid motion, without readjusting your grip, you take a swing at one of the nails. (Preferably not your own.) It is actually quite a lot of fun. And of course I managed to find a site dedicated to the game:

Pictures from the party can be found in this
Picasa album, or on my
Facebook album. I kept the sizes large so that they would be printable.
