3rd Annual Jimmy Fund Cookout = Success!!

Yesterday we hosted our 3rd Annual Jimmy Fund Cookout. It was a gruelingly hot day, but luckily by the time the games got started most of our yard was in the shade so nobody ended up suffering from heat-stroke. I want to express my deepest appreciation to all of those who attended, whether in person or in spirit (this includes those of you who sent us good wishes from long distances that couldn't make it).

The final results for the events are as follows:

The Home Run Derby

   ~ Raised $14
   ~ Winner - Jon Gavin (for the 3rd year in a row....although this year his brother Matt Gavin and 7 year old
   Liam Evans made him work hard for it, as we ended up having to do a 3 way tie-break round)

Unfortunately my camera is on strike and is not currently working, so I don't have many pictures to share of the day's events just yet.  However, I did steal the following of the Three Musketeers from my cousin Ann's facebook page so at least you can have one fun thing to look at:
