Happy 4th of July

Yesterday we rolled down to Monticello, IN for the annual 4th of July celebration on "beautiful" Lake Freeman. Actually, I dumped Lee off at the lake and Taryn & I went in to Lafayette to hang with my mom. Since Taryn isn't allowed to wear sunscreen or be in the sun... And she is too little to wear a life jacket and go on a boat... There really isn't much for her to do at the lake. Which means there isn't much for ME to do either.

We had a good day with Grandma Mary** and had lunch at Pepe's. Mmmm. I had my first dacquiri in like 11 months and I think I got a little buzz!

I headed up to the lake in the evening and we had some friends over to watch the fireworks. They were your typical fireworks. I got Taryn to sleep before the fireworks started and she managed to sleep through them until 1am, which is a huge bonus! Everyone went to bed at 1am except for Lee who decided to go get idiotically drunk with the neighbors. We're definitely slowing down! Back in the day, 1am would find us on a booze cruise on the pontoon in the middle of the lake. Oh how times change.

Speaking of, there's a baby waking up and she's going to want to eat... NOW!

** Side story: My mom initially had some trouble realizing that she is now GRANDMA. So, when Taryn was first born she kept referring to herself as Aunt Mary. That finally progressed to Aunt Grandma. I think now she has finally figured it out and she just refers to herself as Grandma!
