Fun with Family for the Fourth

We had a great time going to Hawesville to visit mine and Nick's families over the 4th of July holiday. We were able to spend the day of the fourth at Nick's aunt and uncle's cabin on the river. We had a great time, but Kate was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day - all of the excitement and no nap was a lot for her to take!

That Sunday, Nick had to leave to go out of town for work the upcoming week so Kate and I decided to stay and spend the week with my family. I hate that Nick has to go out of town for his job, but it was nice to get to spend lots of extended time with my family. We were able to go to Evansville's Mesker Park Zoo (not for very long because it was HOT!) and spend one day swimming at my Uncle Steve and Aunt Wanda's house with all of my cousins. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with these people who I just do not get to see enough. And they were so excited to get to spend a lot of time with Kate.
