Knee High by the 4th of July!

I recently heard you must know a farmer to understand the phrase, "knee high by the forth of July."  I guess I've always known farmers so that phrase is not new, but it is said every year.  And this year the corn is "knee high +" by the forth of July.  If you need to blow up the picture to see the beautiful corn behind our beautiful girls please feel free.  It is all magnificent :)

Our fourth was fun.  The day itself was low key.  Hung out at home, the girls and I cleaned Steve's office, we cooked some hot dogs with my parents over the fire.  It was all good.  At night we headed to the fireworks (which were spectacular might I add).  About 5 minutes before the fireworks started Brooke had to go to the bathroom, her tummy hurt.  So off to the bathroom we tread.  After a long wait we got back to finish watching the fireworks, as I muttered under my breath how SICK of her stomach issues I am!!  The fireworks lasted an hour, to which Macy and Brooke fell asleep.  Off to the car we went.  We parked in a field so we were trudging through with MANY other people, head lights behind us.  Macy picks up her head from my shoulder, looks at me and says, "my tummy hurts."  "really?"  I said, as she leaned over and puked everywhere.  I didn't know what to do, so I laughed.  Are you kidding me?!?!!?  The girls ran to tell Steve what was going on, as she continued to vomit 3 more times.  We made it to the van and just hung out for awhile.  Macy proceeded to tell us her intake for the day, and puking did not seem out of order anymore.  As we get in the traffic to go home, Brooke starts yelling her belly hurts again.  Oh for the sake!!!!!!!!!!!   Once we got to the rode Steve made it home in record speed with Brooke dry heaving in the back seat as Macy said, "good thing Brooke can't puke." 
Ahhhh yes, a night of Koeman entertainment.  Macy recovered nicely.  Whether it was a bug or excessive food may never be determined.  Brooke continues with her stomach issues but she see's the MD the end of the month and we'll see what recommendations they have. 

Today is 19 years that this craziness began.  It wasn't as crazy, in the beginning.  It just grew into this and I wouldn't change it.  Happy Anniversary my love!  Can't wait to see what the next 51 years have in store.
