Twin cousins; Trey and Trail with ColeAs you all know the twenty fourth of July here in St. Anthony is a really big deal. For us it starts at 7 am with the Fun Run, then to the parade and the rodeo, but last year we started a new tradition. The REDNECK WATER PARTY!! My mom has a huge sand volleyball pit that she floods and we play intense mud volleyball, we have more food than we know what to do with. (This year she got a cotton candy machine) All of my brothers and sisters invite their friends and my mom and dad invite some of theirs. We end up with a strange mix of people but have a ton of fun. Don't get too excited though, I haven't revealed the best part yet!! My baby brother Regg invented his own slip and slide. It is amazing, about the size of half a football field, not kidding!! My dad puts all of his hay in long plastic tube bags, Regg put one of these at the top of my moms lawn and it slopes downhill. He put a pipe at the top and we pump water out of the ditch for a steady flow. It was a huge hit two years in a row. So for those of you who were invited and didn't come, you totally missed out!!!
