Fourth of July All Nighter

Tyler and I pulled an all nighter last night. Yes, we had an awesome day visiting Chad, Amber and his kids here with my parents during the day. We dropped Ben off to depart for Canada around 11 am and we were off as well. We had a good time walking, swimming, riding in the golf cart, fishing and taking a pontoon ride. It was definitely a fun filled day. Pictures here. After finding out the team had come to a finish in Oklahoma we figured Trenton would arrive home in the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately, they had to be picked up so I knew it would be a late one. My parents took Gabi home with them after dropping me off at home for the evening - around 8:30 pm ish, Tyler headed over to a friends house till midnight and I tried to catch some shut eye around 10pm. Tried is the key word. The neighbors were having a good time with fireworks and get togethers...who can blame them. It was just not a good evening to try and catch some zzzz's early. Tyler got home at 12 and I got up around 12:30 am to get around. Tyler swore he was up and ready to go so he would drive. With Garmin in the car, we headed out. Tyler did a great job and we made it to the campus of Purdue in 2 1/2 hours. After almost hitting a deer and a raccoon we were ready to get Trenton and head on home for our beds. Right as we pulled in to Purdue Trenton calls and says the bus is running late...it would be another hour and half. So there in the parking lot, Tyler and I layed back and tried to get some sleep. Tyler was out within seconds but for me...tried is the word again. 5 am was the arrival time, got Trenton, Tyler curled up in the back and we headed on our way home. Trenton helped me drive home and our travel time was shortened by an hour! Yes, we were in a hurry to find our pillows...
haven't pulled an all nighter like that in quite some time but we are home and we made it safely. Waiting to hear from Ben and crew for same report. Happy late Independence Day!
Note - firework pictures from the Summerfest a couple of weekends ago. It was a great display!!!
