Laughter - All in the Family

We held the June Celebrations at Mom & Dad's this weekend - Norma's birthday, Devon's birthday, Sydney's birthday, Father's Day, Kelly's birthday and Kelly & Mike's anniversary. (Mind - the only people who get individual parties are the ones with birthdays in Dec/Jan!) Kelly only had Patrick there - Garrett was off at scout camp, and Meagan had been invited to a party/sleep-over which sounded like more fun. But Kai's son Devon is up for the summer, so we had two boys about.

After presents and before dinner, Mike, Patrick and Devon started roughhousing on the lawn. Now, Patrick tends to put his head down and charge (and gets scooped up, flipped over, and tumbled!) Devon, on the other hand, takes a more strategic approach. He convinced Patrick that if he (Devon) gave him (Patrick) a push, he'd have more speed and be able to take down Mike! So, Devon was "launching" Patrick at Mike, and Mike was "bowling" Patrick back to Devon. Kelly and I were standing on the deck, trying to take photos and laughing like crazy!

So - here's Patrick's approach, followed by Devon's!
