Balloon Races!

We made the Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/cinammon_rolls_/)

And took off Bright and Early to the Balloon Races....

It's was a beautiful morning!! 

This Doesn't Happen Everyday!!

We were getting ready for school one morning a few weeks ago when B looked out the window and said, "Mom! There's a giant balloon landing in our yard!"
We ran outside and we were surrounded by hot air balloons.

It was magical!

We spent the next 1/2 hour running around and looking at balloons.

K dressed as a rat the whole time...

We missed the bus, but it was a spectacular morning!

The Last Summer Bash!!

There's nothing like a week at the lake to end a great summer.  We had great plans for a huge family shin-dig but were ditched by the extended family...we had a fabulous time anyway!  We tried to talk everyone we knew into coming up with us...but no takers...should I take a hint???  We had an extra room at the condo and everything!  Next summer we're making plans on going back...any takers this time around??
