Finally have my laptop back and have a lot to catch up on, but I figured I'd go with the most time-sensitive topic before the month was out. Here are a few pictures from the 4th of July when we went to visit family in northern Indiana.
My outfit for the day: I think I ended up rocking the "Texas Soccer Mom" theme? Somehow about a million mosquitos managed to get me through the leggings, boots, and socks. Clearly they were determined. Outfit
Dress: Forever21
Boots: Durango, R.C.C. Western
Leggings: Old Navy
Our "uniforms" (I kept calling it a costume, clearly I'm not a big sports fan) for the corn hole tournament. It's worth noting that I have neither aim nor skill when it comes to throwing things and we lost both the first round and then the first round of the loser's bracket. Alcohol may have also had something to do with it. Also worth noting that we made these visors for approximately a cool $5 thanks to WalMart. Keep it classy, USA.
My brother Dane and my cousin's baby, Luke. Dane's keeping him hip with his hairstyles, haha.
My dad and baby Luke keeping cool while watching the White Sox game inside. Thank goodness little Luke isn't being raised to be a Cubs fan.
My cousin Katherine enjoying some of the "JOTS" (A nickname for jell-o shots that my grandma apparently picked up from an article about 'how many teenagers die from them'... good thing we aren't teenagers.)The main party with my mom's family was actually on the 3rd, and on the 4th my brother, his girlfriend Chelsea, my dad and I took off for Chicago to see a U2 concert the next day. We had dinner at South Coast Sushi (obviously a really American place) and then managed to catch not only the fireworks off Navy Pier but fireworks along the entire horizon from my dad's roof. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen!
Hopefully everyone else in the country had a good July 4th, you know... at the beginning of the month.
