The week of the 4th of July is always a favorite - that's when Thomas, Madison, and Micah are often able to come home for a mid-year visit. On Micah's first day here, I picked her up from the airport and met Mom, Tessa, and Alisha and the boys at the Museum of Art for lunch. The food was delicious and we all doted over Alexander - he's so big and so fun.
After lunch, Alisha and the boys headed home so Alexander could nap and the rest of us got a private tour from Sister Dittmer - mom's friend from the temple.
Later that week, Tessa brought Emerson and her friends downtown for a concert and Micah was waiting to pick Thomas and Madison up from the airport, so we met downtown for dinner at Bru Burger. Once the girls were at the concert, Tessa, Micah, and I hung out and enjoyed some sister time.
Over the Fourth of July holiday, we all gathered in Brookville, Indiana for a couple of days. I didn't take any pictures so I only have a few that Alisha took. The first day was a boating day on the lake, but Brandon and I arrived just as a storm was coming in so we didn't get to go on the boat. We went back to the lake the next day, though, to swim, then went to a fireworks show at a local church. We stayed in a big house with plenty of room for everyone. We played lots of games and enjoyed lots of good food. It's so fun to have everyone together - we were just missing Isaac's family.
Brandon had already scheduled a camping trip with his family that week, so I stayed the next night at my parents' and hung out with Thomas, Madison, and Micah before they all left town. We went to the Bartholomew County Fair and ate fair food and watched a tractor pull. I'd never been to a tractor pull before, but it was pretty fun!
