July Fourth Weekend

This past week, we had a wonderful time visiting family and friends! It started Tuesday evening when we were able to spend quality time with my mom and then spent the rest of the evening with Jen and Justin at their new house. We had a nice meal together, took a walk through Fishers, and played Phase 10 and Battle of the Sexes late into the night :)
Wednesday was July 4th, which we spent with my extended family at the McCutchen's house. We played volleyball, caught up with everybody, ate good food, and watched some fireworks in the backyard (some of which were actually shot at people--on purpose!). It was a blast!
Thursday we drove to Cincinnati, and Stephanie's grandma took us to the Creation Museum, which is run by the creators of Answers in Genesis--a site that I really have learned a lot from. Basically, in this museum they offer a biblical--and logical--explanation of scientific data that are typically used to support evolutionary thought. It really is fascinating stuff. We learned a lot and came away wanting to study much more!
Friday we went to King's Island, which was very enjoyable. The water park was especially nice that day. We even got to hear the Dave Crowder Band play since they were having Christian concerts that day at the park.
Saturday was spent with Stephanie's family in Cincinnati. We had a good time with all of them. The girls went and saw Wild Hogs and the boys went and saw Transformers, which is a must-see in my opinion. It's phenomenal!
Saturday night, we got home and my check from UPS was in the mail! So I have officially quit there and am back at Panera full-force now. It's nice to actually be able to keep a fairly normal schedule again! That's all for now. But here are some pictures from the weekend:
