Bocce Love {Party Activity}

Every year when we go to Maine, my family plays Bocce.  It's kind of like bowling, but with small colored balls and a court instead of a lane.  Ok, it's not much like bowling at all, but it's loads of fun and almost any age can play!  It's a great family tradition that you should try!

Here's some pix from our bocce battles!

As you can see, Bocce is a great backyard game to add to a family reunion or birthday party!

Fourth of July {Party time!} and special birthday

We had a fab time on the Fourth with my family up in Maine (knew we would)!  We had a very special birthday, and celebrated the 4th in style with Maine Lobster!

  Here's the gang!

 The t-shirts! That's my aunt and my mom.

 The cake.

 I tried to make one of those cute mini-banners, and it was a bit wonky, but still cute.
