Yes, that is exactly how we spent our 4th of July
weekend this year. We went to Indianapolis and we had a great time with Matt’s
family. We did the usual, eat hot dogs, cheeseburgers, rode jet skis, made smores and listened to
good ole oldies music.
We were able to sit around at the pool for three days and
not do anything. It was great!
There was a boat parade over the river on the 4th of July. Everyone in the neighborhood gets to show their patriotism and spirit by decorating their boats. The theme of this year was M*A*S*H.
Later that night we watch the kids play with their sparklers and then we headed to the river deck and watched the fireworks. What I loved the most was sitting there in silence seeing the fireworks over the calm water and then looking around and seeing the fireflies. It was priceless!
It was great to spend time with family, especially now that
we have a little nephew on the way. Matt’s
sister Jessica is pregnant. We are so excited for her and Josh.
The following week Matt had a week vacation, so we decided to
rent a car when we came back from Indy and head to upstate New York. My poor husband is going crazy in the City. He
is definitely a Southern boy and loves to be outdoors.
I have to say we were a little disappointed with the view from the U.S. side of the falls. The Canada side was much more beautiful.
On the border of U.S & Canada. When we got to the falls the weather was snot pleasant. First it started raining then the sun came out and we saw a rainbow right by the waterfalls. It was amazing. This was the first time Matt had seen a complete rainbow.
We walked the rest the night and waited for the light show over the falls.
Canada was fun but the I have to say the rest of our trip around upstate New York got even better the following days. I think I've come to love farms and ice cream shops. Will post more pics of the rest of our trip later.
