What a great long weekend! Friday morning, we had my Aunt Darlene and Uncle Skip over for the annual Woodruff Place 4th of July parade. It was drizzling, so it wasn't quite as spectacular as it has been in the past. Natalie loves to see the mounted police, so she was a little bummed out they weren't there. Rob grilled burgers for lunch, and then the kids (including Jackie) had a good nap. We headed over to Mom and Dad's for supper where Melissa, Jared's girlfriend, made us a fantastic supper. We headed back downtown for the fireworks display. Thankfully the rain had stopped. A light breeze dried things up and kept the mosquitoes away! I had to take pictures of the fireworks for my photography class, so that was fun. Saturday, we had a late, big breakfast and went to Connor Prairie for the day. They had a Fourth of July celebration. We tasted homemade ice cream, dipped candles, petted baby chicks, lambs, calves, and goats, saw a musket demonstration, heard readings from the Declaration of Independence, watched a blacksmith make a nail, watched a paper balloon launch, did face painting, etc. etc. It was a fun day! Kids had a longgggg nap! Sunday was very low key- had meeting, a potluck, and just chilled out at home. Monday, Rob stayed home from work, and we did lots of running around. Natalie got her cast off!!!! We saw Audrey and her baby, went to the grocery store, Sam's Club, etc. etc. It was hard for Jack, Natalie, and I to see Dad go back to work this morning. We could get used to having him home!
