Thomas and Madison set their wedding date for July, but with his football schedule he wasn't going to be able to come back afterwards for a reception, so while they were here visiting, we threw them an engagement party at my parents' house. It was a simple open-house style party, but, as she always does, my mom made it beautiful, complete with through-the-years photos of the couple.
For the Fourth of July, we decided to celebrate all together at my grandma's farm with a campout - Micah had also arrived by then. It sounded like a really fun idea beforehand, but that day was SO hot and humid and in the morning, everything was wet from the humidity and dew. It was gross to just be outside. And then around dinner time, a huge storm rolled through and forced us all inside for a while. We still had a great time, though, and it was so fun to see Jackson and the other cousins making memories together at my Grandma's house, just like I did as a kid.
No Shoaf outing would be complete without shooting some guns!
I just love Indiana in the summer - the fields and big blue skies, mixed in with some killer thunderstorms, are so gorgeous to me.
Julius brought some of his kids over to play and eat dinner with us then we roasted s'mores and had the most amazing up-close fireworks show. I like fireworks anyway, but it's pretty amazing when they're right overhead!
