We went camping at Lake Shelbyville with mom for the long 4th of July weekend. It was a much 
needed break from a long week at work. It was a nice relaxing weekend; camping always is. There's something about the peaceful sounds of nature, sitting around a crackling campfire staring into the flames and looking at the endless sky of stars that makes you forget about the day
to day routine. We went swimming one day at the local pool because the beaches were closed due to high water.

decided to take Bradyn to his first BIG SCREEN movie. Mom told Bradyn that we were gonna go see a movie on a screen as big as a truck, and he kept thinking we were going to see big trucks. In any case, once we got there he realized it was a "BIG MOVIE!" And we saw Ice Age, so there were "BIG DINOSAURS". After the movie, the weather still hadn't 
cleared up enough for fireworks in Shelbyville, so we spur of the moment decided to make a whirlwind trip down to see the St.Louis Fireworks. Bradyn LOVED them. "BOOM BOOM BOOM" he said and "BIG FIREWORKS" That's all he talked about the next day. Well since it had been so crappy over the entire state of Illinois, a lot of fireworks had been rescheduled for Sunday, so we decided since Bradyn enjoyed them so much the night before that we would take him to another display. We decided on 
meeting up with my brother, Sarah, Kyleah & my dad and watched them over Lake Decatur. Those were amazing fireworks as well. And once again, Bradyn enjoyed them. He was completely wiped out after staying up way past his bedtime two nights in a row, but it was worth it!
P.S. the little pink cast on Kyleah's arm... she was crawling on the kitchen floor with refrigerator magnets in her hands and she slipped and cracked her elbow on the floor. Poor little thing fractured her elbow and has to wear that cast for 3 weeks. She's a trooper though and seems to be in good spirits.
