My First Fourth: Part 2

The day after the parade there was an afternoon barbacue complete with lots of watermelon and field games for the kids. There were races, orange tosses (we didn't have any eggs or waterballoons on island at the time), and various eating contests. Sadly the grease pole, usually a highlight of fourth of July did not happen this year - no grease. (We hadn't had any freight planes in over a week by then).
































The pie eating contest was immediately followed by the watermelon eating contest, much to the disgruntlement of the stomachs of the kids attempting to win both.
