4th of july




Nick is the operations manager for three campgrounds in IL and MO. So for the 4th we went to one of them, HoneyBend Resort in Litchfield, IL so he could supervise the activities. We played tug-of-war, and slip and slide or rather we laughed our butts off watching the campers do these activities. After all the fun and games, we went out to eat at a cute little historical cafe on the historical Route 66 called Ariston Cafe. It was pretty good. After stuffing ourselves full of good food and of course dessert, we went back to the campground for some fireworks. The show did not last long, but they were pretty good. The next day, nick and I went to visit Gail and Dave Johnson at their new home in Springfield, IL. I graduated with both of them from Maryville and Gail was my roommate in college for 3 years and was an usherette in my wedding last year. Needless to say we have a long history together. I did not get to attend their wedding in June because we had another family wedding the same day so Nick and I decided to go and see the new house and catch up since it has been awhile. It was so good to see them and their house is adorable!! After catching up with Gail and Dave, we drove back home. We were going to go and watch some fireworks at the mall, but instead we walked the neighborhood and saw everyone else's firework show.
