Rain Angel and Rainbow

Tonight Chris is at work and Clara is galavanting around town prior to a sleepover at a friend's house. After some time playing with neighborhood kids, Lucy asked if I could repair her bike which I was glad to do. While working on it we had a storm pop up so she made a rain angel. Then a few minutes later she called out her sisters to see the rainbow from the storm.

When you've got older kids who are driving, gainfully employed and on the verge of moving out, you appreciate the younger ones who just want to lay on the driveway and wonder at the rainbows.

Pops and the Bourbon Storm

 For Father's Day, Pops and I went to Buffalo Trace in Frankfort to stand in line and procure whatever they were selling that particular day.  We arrived at 8:55 a.m. for the gift shop that opens at 9 a.m. and stood in line for a long time.  The line moved relatively quickly and by 10:10 a.m. we had procured a bottle of Buffalo Trace and a bottle of Blanton's each.  This means we're in Blanton's jail till October since you're only permitted to purchase one bottle of the specialty bourbons every 90 days.  

Immediately after we walked out of the gift shop, Annette called requesting a bottle of bourbon cream.  We stopped at Boone County Bourbon on our way home and waited outside briefly for the storm to pass.  It was a pretty amazing site and Pops recorded a video where he asked Clara to draw it.  

It was a fun way to celebrate Father's Day with Pops and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy some of the bourbon together too!

Chris turns 18; Gun show

This photo is of the calm after the storm.  We gathered tonight to celebrate as a family Christopher's 18th trip around the sun.  

And considering that Clara has been going to the gym so much lately and dragging whomever else she can along for the ride, here's a photo of the post-Buster Bar Gun Show.
