Two peas in a pod

We spent the weekend with Dusty's family and from the moment we walked through the door Rachel and her cousin Makenna were unseperable.  First words out of Makenna's mouth....Where's Raashal??  They kept busy this weekend.

A clear night

Spent the weekend in our hometown, so on Friday night I took advantage of the clear night and the absence of city lights and went out shooting.  Found a little travelled road outside of town and set up the tripod and started shooting the beautiful night sky.  We saw some shooting stars, but none of them were in the camera's line of sight.  I would have liked to taken more and fiddled around with the setting some more, but the mosquitos won out.

Strike!

Well maybe there wasn't a whole lot of those, but the kids had fun at the bowling alley today.  We met up with Heather and the boys for a round of bowling.  We also switched Josiah from their care to ours.  He's spending some time with us while the rest of his family is at church camp.

Big surprise at the end...the kiddo with the highest score at the end of the day was the youngest.  Hayden pulled the big upset.  However we must denote his win with an asterisk.  He had the assist of 2 bumpers, a ramp to get the ball up to speed and an adult lining the ramp up with the pins.  So we'll go with Bryson for the win.

I like this thing...helps the little kids get the ball going down the alley.  Wild play of the day went to Josiah who would take off running from the ball return and heave the ball from 10 feet out.  Once it ricocheted off the bumper and landed in the gutter.  We gave him a bit of direction after that.

Hayden was a cutie...he would roll the ball and then stand patiently with his hands behind his back waiting to see what he got.

Afterwards there was McDonald's treats to go around.

Happy 5th of July!

Dusty had today off for the holiday so we started off the day at Chick-fil-a with a free breakfast thanks to Customer Appreciation Week.  Later in the afternoon Dusty and the kids headed back for the free milkshakes they were offering today.  Thank you Chick-fil-a....you will see us again this week!  We exhausted our supplies of fireworks this evening and can now call this non-stop holiday weekend done.

Nonstop Weekend O Fun - Part tres

Church this morning followed by a quick lunch and naps since we were dragging from the previous 2 days.  Then a yummy dinner followed by fireworks.  And if you were in Danville and saw 2 camera geeks with Canon cameras and tripods shooting away during the fireworks....I was one of the 2 geeks!   I'll not name the other. :)

Non Stop Weekend O Fun - Part Deux

Went to a wedding that was the social event of the year for our church.  It was a beautiful wedding and a fun reception.  Didn't take many pics...too busy dancing!

The Non-stop Weekend O Fun...Part 1

Kicked off the holiday weekend with a fun night at Brian and Melissa's.   There was swimming, great food, fun, smores, explosives....what more could you need.  Now I give you the only photo that I took that was worth posting.

Ooooh...aaaah...be impressed. :)

Next up...Brownsburg parade this morning. Rachel was dreaming big; notice the size of her candy bag!

This is apparently what Santa Claus does in the off season

And this is the new training that our motorcycle cops have been doing

And there were treats to go around...even for the adults. I have decided that what has been missing from my parade experiences in the past has been Lisa Herrera's color commentary. Thanks for the fun!

Now I'm off to get ready for the social event of the year at our church - Dan and Lissa's Wedding. Gotta run!
