The last 2 (closer to 3 weeks) weeks in Crawfordsville Indiana took us through the 4th of July, granddaughter Savannah’s 15th birthday, my daughter Jennifer with husband Christian arriving, as well as other family type stuff. Sometimes it feels like life is standing still until you look back and see you have done a bunch of stuff together! This is one of those times.

We got back from Cedar Point and then the 4th was just around the corner. We had a BBQ at my son Tony’s house to celebrate the 4th. That seems to be enough for all of us as the temperatures were near 100 with humidity nearly as high. None of us really wanted to sit outside and watch fireworks this year due to that heat! So after some BBQ and some board games we headed back to our trailer and the sanctuary of AC. We got to see a few fireworks, from our window, and we certainly heard them too!
A few days later we attended a party for our granddaughter Savannah’s 15th birthday on the 8th. She had 2 sets of grandparents and a friend or 2 there. After having cake and ice cream we headed out to see the new movie Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. I really liked the first Jurassic Park movie but this one was a tad stale. It wasn't bad but wasn’t really good either. Anyway it was fun with family!

At the end of the week my daughter Jennifer and her husband Christian arrived from New Jersey. It’s not too often that both of my kids and I are in the same place so that was a memorable time! We got together and had a BBQ and we went to the Indy Zoo as some of the fun stuff we did.

Feeding time! |
In a few weeks we will be in NJ and visit with Jennifer again so we tried to make sure they had some time with the Indiana family by themselves. It’s all good!
We also had a nice visit with my cousins on my mother’s side of the family. Thanks to Nana Canada Rising for that. Nana is a year and a day older than me. She is the daughter of my mom’s brother (my uncle) Dale Canada. She has been taking the initiative for the past few years to make sure that when we are in town we all get together. Her parents are now gone and so are mine so we just have each other left in this part of the family. It was nice to see everyone again! Again, thanks to Nana!
The Montgomery County 4H Fair event was open while we were in town too. We aren't too much about 4H fairs but it was a nice time to eat crap and see farm animals.
Cow judging. We stayed around a bit to see how this was done but didn't learn much |

Before The Pretenders concert we had dinner at this great German restaurant across the street from the concert venue |

We had some time to kill after dinner and before the concert. We didn't ride this but it was going around the downtown circle area of Indianapolis |
