It's Tuesday after a long holiday weekend. Time for laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping and more laundry. But, first i thought i would reflect back on our awesome American weekend. This is our first in YEARS that we were not on the beach in Alabama. I think we made the very best of it, though.
BBQ and swimming at my parent's house...
their backyard is amazing. My mom's thumb is so damn green!!!!
the weather was gorgeous and the clouds that did show up were glorious...
Our hometown of Carmel had decided to postpone their parade and fireworks until Monday {not to interfere with church goers on Sunday}. But our kids really wanted to see some fireworks on the 4th, so we set out and stumbled upon Conner Prairie { a local living history museum }, who was hosting the symphony and planning fireworks at dusk.
We of course, didn't pay the $70 per person fee to actually get in to the venue, but we did park along the fenceline on the fringe of the property along with a lot of other crafty folks and were able to set up our soccer chairs and watch the fireworks from there. We could even hear the symphony from there! It was lovely.
FREE fireworks and patriotic music from the symphony on the other side of the fence...because that's how we roll!!!! Ha ha!
We decided last minute to go to Carmel's fireworks last night after a Dairy Queen run...it was so great.
Our fireworks seats this time, were much closer. I love the feeling of community when you're at a hometown event, don't you? The traffic afterwards, when you're trying to go home...not so much.
