Few more down

Kaylee and I are counting down the days until vacation. I don't know who is more excited.

Yesterday was independence day. We were thankful to spend the day with my mom and dad. We had a wonderful time. Lots of talking and laughing, so much my cheeks hurt! My parents prepared dinner of course the normal for the occasion. Hot dogs and hamburgers, along with all the fixings and watermelon for desert. We stayed for most of the day and it was a day well spent. We had already decided we wouldn't be seeing fireworks. With all the rain we had the lake is too full, meaning all the parks surrounding the lake was closed. We decided it would be too much of a hassle to see them. Nobody was overly upset. We did however watch them on tv. Totally not the same but it worked. It was kind of an early to bed evening.

I was up at 7 this morning and my mom texted to see if I wanted to go to winstar casino with her. So I did. We had a really good time. It's nice that it's only an hour away. Perfect for lots of talking. We stayed for about 4 hours. I came out a bit ahead, I can't say the same for mom. But we had fun and that's all that mattered. I'm just glad I got to put extra money in the vacation fund!!!

Before I left this morning I put beans and ham on in the crockpot, it was nice to come home and only need to make the cornbread for it. It was delicious too.

I have to work the next 2 days and then I'm off for 2 days. I need to try to get the kids to the pool or splash pad. The little ones need stuff to do.

So were going to continue to count the days until vacation!!!
