It was another day of fun and activities for Sunrise Family Resort at the annual Fourth of July Celebrations.
Activities started in the early afternoon with a delicious brunch of spaghetti, garlic bread etc. After brunch, everyone met at the community park where they designed patriotic T-shirts. T-shirt designing was followed by the start of the water games.
Many of the games were team related to help teach youth team work and good sportsmanship. Ribbons and medals were awarded to the winners of each event. Games includes: Relay sit on the water balloon. water bomb hot-potato game, toss the waterballon game (pairs), bouncing on balls and bring back water balloon for next team member to take back to pool... their were water gun rights, water balloons fights, volley ball (using a beach ball), dodge sponge (like dodge ball) and other group games enjoyed by youth and adults alike. Breaks were taken between games (much to the disappointment of some children) where drinks were served to keep everyone hydrated during the heat of the day.
Two fire pits were lit as evening approach and everyone roasted their own hots dogs to eat with side dishes, chips etc. Once darkness approached the community sat around to watch the best fireworks display so far!
As always, everything was at no cost to SFR youth
Firework photos coming soon!!
Attendees were given glo-in-the dark jewelry, glo sticks, patriotic lei's, glo in the dark sunglasses (youth only), glo in the dark toys, toy frisbees (donated by Madill Sonic) and other fun items to take home.
Fireworks were followed by cooking s'mores and marshmallows. Several youth camped out at the park where a projector and movie screen provided entertainment. After dark activities included glo-in-the dark volleyball and other activities.
