Balloon Fest

The kids' favorite balloon.


Riding Dumbo - Why go to Disney when you can just drive to Howell and get the same thing for much cheaper?
This was the strangest carnival ride I have ever seen. I was very thankful Brad was will to be the adult to go with them. I don't like to spin.
Sawyer thought he was so cool riding by himself in this car. He smiled the whole time!

On Friday night we headed out to Howell for their Balloon Festival. It was a really fun night! First we watched while they launched about 30 or so hot air balloons. Then we took the kids to the carnival where they had tons of fun riding every ride that they were allowed to go on due to height restrictions. After the carnival we stayed and watched the fireworks. That was the kids' first time to watch an actual fire works show. Since it stays light until after 10:00 we've never been brave enough to take them.

On a related but different subject - The carnival gave myself, Ben, Brandy and Brad some great inspiration for our outfits to wear to our neighborhood party on Saturday night. Check back for some very entertaining photos. Can you guess what kind of party we had?
