July 4th weekend was busy, but very fun! On Friday, July 3rd, we had a great visit with Jamie’s grandparents. We are always impressed at how sharp they are at ages 89 and 91!! Grandpa was cracking jokes and Grandma was filling us in on the latest gossip. After that, we took the girls out in our fishing boat with their cousin Claire. They were a little nervous at first and then became impatient when the fish didn’t bite right away, but they still had fun and managed to catch a few fish. We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the Suchy farm!

On Saturday morning, July 4th, we participated in the Suchy golf tournament. Olivia was on Jamie’s team, and Violet was on my team with Uncle Joey and cousin Nicholas. The girls enjoyed hitting the ball every once in a while, and especially had fun putting. The weather that morning was beautiful, so it was great being on the course for a fun family competition.

On Saturday afternoon, we went to the parade in Evansville. We saw my Dad riding with the veterans, and Jamie’s mom, dad and sister cruising in a convertible for Hart Travel. The girls had a blast collecting candy with their cousins. After the parade, we went out to my parent’s farm. The cousins had a squirt gun fight, went on a scavenger hunt, played baseball and bean bag toss, rode four wheeler… then we all went on a hayride and had a campfire. It was very fun, one of the most memorable years yet! We missed cousin Emma though!!
