Big Balloons

We got to hang out this weekend with some friends and some big balloons. There was a hot air balloon festival in town. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was really cool. We sat close to the "launch" zone. The balloons aired up before our eyes and launched right over our heads.

The boys were fascinated for a bit and then got busy rough-housing with other little boys - Levi, Daniel, and Micah. Miles and Dariah stayed nice and safe on the sidelines.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Yesterday was a very special day at our house. Two little boys had a birthday and we celebrated in style. We kept it simple and planned a family whiffle ball game. Despite the severe thunderstorm that started just about the time the party did...we all had a great time.

The boys loved helping with all the preparations and Seth got the only thing he asked for for his birthday. He wanted "someone to throw a ball to me and I hit it." Done!

The weather cleared up enough to at least have some whiffle ball batting practice (the baseball diamond John mowed into our front field was too wet for a full game).









Happy 4th Birthday Seth! Happy 2nd Birthday Colin!
