3 july 2009.

we planned to go camping on knobstone trail in southern indiana to get bonty away from all the fireworks, so we bought camping supplies- only later to learn that it was going to thunderstorm all night on the 4th... so, we decided not to go camping and made s'mores in our first broad ripple back yard fire. mmm mmm!
