Our Great Adventure-Day 16






Happy 4th of July! Most of the Haldrup family attended a brunch at the Propylaeum in downtown Indianapolis. This is an old, beautiful home that Nana is a member. The food was delicious. Riley, Emma, and Jensen led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance and they all did a superb job. After we all sang some Patriotic songs, we had some rousing games of Bingo. All the kids and most of the adults won prizes. When we finished at the Propylaeum, we went over to Nana's for a cookout. The boys put a new flag pole for Nana which was a real treat for her. The kids as always had a great time swimming in the lake and playing together. Everyone left fairly early to go to different celebrations. Riley, Jensen, and Garrett with home with the Vowells to spend the night. Uncle Robert treated them by buying fireworks which they had a good time setting off and watching. Garrett thought the coolest thing was when Luke would shot a bottlerocket down a piece of pvc piping to the bottom of their pond and when it exploded bubbles would rise to the surface....so cool! He was really impressed. Nana and Neil sat outside to watch the different fireworks. Since we were leaving the next morning, I stayed inside and got everyone packed up for the trip home. All in all it was a great 4th!
