We had a good fourth of July. Dad, the kids, and I went to the old house to finish getting the rest of the stuff out and into the dumpster that my mother-in-law rented. Surprisingly we filled most of it up and she was glad we’d gotten the big one. After that she took us to lunch where there was the shortest Chick’fil’A line I’d ever seen because it was still pretty early and we’d beaten the lunch crowds.

Then we came home. Jess and the kids had left in the morning. It was fun having them here. Before my other sister and her family left last night, we had a family supper together at the house. I originally was going to have have us eat in the CGC because it didn’t seem like we’d have enough room for all of the people. It ended up being fine. We put the littler kids at the table in the dining room and everyone else found a spot in the living room.

In the afternoon the adults took naps. I asked if anyone wanted to go swimming and Josh and one of the boys came along. There was a family down there with their kids and a dog. We swam for a while and it felt good to do so. We came back in time to quickly shower and get ready to go out to the farm house for supper. After that we went to Scheels to meet up with some camp kids to watch the fireworks.
