Family Cookout...

We had a family cookout on Saturday and because Alexander didn't feel well, he was hardly himself but the party was still a success nonetheless.

Of course it was downpouring rain then oppressive humidity for the party and I'm thinking that when we have parties there's always something. At least we didn't have to use the big blue tarp. I'm also thankful it didn't rain during the actual party but man it was hot!

When Alexander did not want to cuddle, he did play with the girls by kicking around the ball. He also played a short game of ladder ball with cousin Brian. I wish Alexander felt better because there were so many little kids for him to play with who were his age. There's always next year!

Here is Alexander playing with the girls
