4th of July


We headed to Indiana for our 7th annual Brooks RiverFest at Camp Pierson. We brought along our friends, the Barkers. We decided to go ahead and camp 2 nights. The weather forecast wasn't looking too promising for us but the first night was great. We woke up the morning of the 4th with the sun shining and things were looking to be in our favor. Well, soon and I mean very soon after that the clouds started covering up the sun and the next thing you know it starts raining. It was a light rain and so we were pretty protected from it sitting under the trees. Slowly family started arriving and eventually the rain started coming down harder. We had planned on a float down the river around 10 and that obviously didn't happen. As the day progressed a few of us were really itching for that float trip and so WE DID IT!! Yes, it was raining (probably the hardest of the day) but so what it was an experience we'll never forget (or probably ever do again!) We did have fun despite the fact that we were freezing. Allie actually fell asleep on the float trip! I have no idea how. She had to have been exhausted. Despite all of the rain we still enjoyed hanging out with family and the Barkers. The fireworks were awesome as usual and camping was lots of fun. We're glad that Kevin and Tami could join us for that last night! Looking forward to more of that this summer! Because of the rain we didn't do our usual cornhole tournament (we didn't want to risk ruining the bags) so instead we played ladder golf...lasso golf or whatever you want to call it. My Mom and Craig won.......as usual. Congrats you two! Below are random pics from the two days.
