4th of July

Yay for 3 day weekends.  I'm so excited for this weekend.  Me, Brandon, Matthew, Katie, and Darrell are going to Indiana's best fireworks show this year.  Friends are joining us.  We didn't know about this until we visited the Casino, but this year's biggest display in Indiana will be the Fire It Up display at Hoosier Park. I can't wait.  I bought all the kids some red, white, and blue glow bracelets.  We are taking Claire's to her Thursday.

To me, fireworks are simply amazing.  They are bold, beautiful, and leave you with that AHHHHHH effect. Even into my adulthood I have always enjoyed them.  Can't wait to see the kids' eyes when they see them.

Here is the week/weekend rundown for the Miller clan.

Tonight:  Going to the fair.  And elephant ear is in my near future.

Thursday night:  Picking up Matthew and Katie and going to see Claire.  These are the items we are taking to her.

Once again, the bows were custom made by the lady at Kroger for me to take to Claire.  Aren't they beautiful?

Friday:  Brandon's little sister Abbi is coming over to stay the night.  Once she comes over we are headed to the pool for a few hours and then off to Hoosier Park for games, face painting, activities, food, and FIREWORKS!

Saturday:  Family picture day!  I have found a cute way to incorporate Claire into the picture.  Stay tuned!
                After pictures I am hoping to visit Build-A-Bear with the kids.  Then we will be headed to a
                waterpark.  Should be fun.

Sunday:   We are supposed to go swimming at Brandon's dads house.  They should have the pool ready by then.  I hope so.  I am sure we will have a cookout as well.

After all this, I will be one tired woman.  But I love to enjoy these times with the kids.  I am just missing Claire.  Having her would be like having perfection.
