Action Packed Weekend

A couple weekends back, we had Gavin for the weekend, and it was an action packed weekend!!  It involved swimming, monster trucks, learning about Jesus, baseball games, ice cream, and more swimming!!

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day!

We celebrated the 4th of July with family and friends this year.  Shawn's parent's were in town and he spent the morning golfing with them, Bro. Heard, Robin, Brian and Dan.  I spent the morning making potato salad for a cookout we were going too, and straightening up the house.  I also went and got my piggies painted with a fun fireworks design.

Everyone ended up at the Robinson's around 2:30 p.m. (Shawn and his parents came later) for an afternoon/evening of food, fun and friends!  The weather on the 4th was absolutely amazing!!  We all had a great time sitting outside talking and visiting, eating lots of delicious food, hitting golf balls into the field, making homemade ice cream, and getting pedicures and "messages" by Zoe!

Around 8:00 p.m. we started the cleanup of the afternoon's mess and we all headed to the Rockport Park to watch the fireworks.  I ended up sitting with my sister and her family and that hot little mess nephew of mine, Gavin!  Zoe and her friend joined us and three of them erupted into giggles galore!!

I didn't take as many pictures as I would of liked, or as I normally would have, but here is what I did get...

Monster X Tour @ the Vanderburgh 4-H Center

A couple weekends back Gavin spent the weekend with us and we took him to the Monster X Tour monster trucks at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fairgrounds. Shawn and I enjoyed the monster trucks out there way better than at the Ford Center.  They have so much more room to maneuver around. I thought for sure Gavin would love it, but he had a miserable time for almost the whole thing.  It was hot, the headphones were hurting his head, and then I guess because the trucks were outside, they were alot louder and he could still hear them through the headphones.

Shawn bought him a light up checkered flag to hopefully make him happy, and it did, for about 5 minutes :/

The Women of Duck Commander

Friday night my friend Pam from work and myself went to see the Women of Duck Commander at the Victory Theatre.  Evansville was one of their stops on their new book tour.  About a month and a half ago, I saw a friend on FB post that she was going to see them for their book tour.  I wanted to go and Pam said she would go with me.  The ticket price included an autographed book as well!  We had a great time!

Before the show started it was announced that the ladies would appear on stage for 30 seconds for photo ops and then they asked that no more pictures be taken.  To say that I was truly disappointed would be an understatement!  I wanted to take lots of pictures! And I got busted with my zoom lens on before the show started, and I was sitting in an isle seat, so I didn't want to take a chance even with the flash off.

I did manage to snap another one right before they got up to leave.

After the event was over, as my friend and I were walking to her car, we saw their bus go by and zoomed out behind it to follow it.  Only it was going so slow down the expressway that we were actually in front of it the whole time.  We decided to turn off and go home, but not before noticing that it never took an exit ramp to get on the interstate.  Shawn was picking me up at my friends house so when we got there, I told Shawn that we were driving around the hotels by the expressway and going to look for that bus; I wanted a picture in front of that bus!!

The first hotel we came up......lookie what we found!
