July stuff

Sorry - no pictures yet but I can recap anyway...

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. I was actually off for 3 WHOLE DAYS!!!!!! We went to Ribfest - had some of the most delicious ribs we've EVER had. We saw Sara Evans in concert - terrific show! We went to the fireworks in our town on the 4th after waiting out the rain during the day and having to find jackets to wear that night. I can't remember the last time we had to wear jeans and coats to watch the fireworks.

The following weekend was my work's summer conference. We had a nice time and I am grateful again for the company I work for!!!! We spent an afternoon at the horse races - probably after going once, I can safely say that that is enough. We relaxed most of the day on Saturday then we had an evening of food, spirits and dancing. It was nice to catch up with co-workers in other offices and visit outside of work. Thanks, mom & dad for watching the kids!

The four of us trekked to St. Louis last week for the All Star Game. Ok - I went to the game and DH & the kiddos played in St. L. They went to the zoo (FABULOUS!) and found a cool (also HUGE) pizza place that had gokarts, mini golf and bowling. They were there for almost 4 hours and had a ball! The game was in a word - AMAZING! I am sure it is a once in a lifetime experience and I loved it. The NL lost - again - but it was so cool to be there. (I will detail that in another post)

This past weekend was a birthday party for our friends' children. It was a gorgeous day and we did a lot of visiting again. Wow - we have been quite social lately....

The weather has been unseasonably cool - not that I'm complaining!!!! It's just unlike July in the Midwest.

Other than work drama (don't get me started...) - things have been good and (hopefully) will slow down a little until school gets closer. Hope all is well with all of you!

Thanks for stopping by - watch for recap photos soon.
