Our activity this year included a few outdoor games. We had a human spelling bee (I don't know if that's what it's called, but that's what I'm calling it). We split into teams, each team member wore a letter on his/her front and one on his/her back. The "caller" would yell a word, use it in a sentence (a certain fellow with a mustache on my team missed that crucial instruction), and the team had to get in the right order to spell the word. Our team lost, but I bet we laughed the most. We also played Barnyard Tag and Ladder Golf--both very fun as well. Our activity could have been "Where's (Waldo) Kelsey?". See if you can spot her in the following photos:
Throughout the post, please see evidence pointing to the fact that we will likely never have a successful family photograph without the aid of photoshop.
Exhibit A: Olivia
Here are more shots of the party-goers (I think I took plenty of pictures.)
Exhibits B & C: Darin and Sean
The parents:
A special, heartfelt Fete Day ballad from Jared to Jodi:
Exhibits D, E, F, G, H, I: (actually, I promised them that we could do this photo if they would just smile for one photo. That's my best impression of Sean's photo face. How did I do?)

I Love Fete day! I look forward to reading about it every year! I wish it were a family and friends holiday. Hint--Hint!
It made me feel good to read about your Fete Day and you guys put ours to shame. I may need to get some pointers from your family. Your family is so cute in that last picture by the way.
