We hit the balloons on the first day this year, avoiding the long day when they're connected with the fireworks on the same night. Matisyn had no problem waking up bright and early with the promise of hot air balloons on the schedule. She was crushed when we missed getting to see the Smokey the Bear balloon get blown up, it was already full when we got there. It's her favorite and she loves to see the fire and watch him stand up. Sadly that was not the only disappointment. Because of the weather the balloons weren't able to go up in the air, so we just watched them deflate instead. There were also less than usual, but it was still an impressive sight. Grandma Barb, Mike and Wendy, and Megan and Bryan came with their boys.
We spent the rest of the day with Megan and the boys at Grandma's pool. We were getting quite the kick out of the blow up drink holders in the pool. We were laughing so hard, and enjoyed a little bit of time without the kids while Grandma took them inside to warm up. Jumping into them off the diving board was a highlight!
I got to go out with some of the girls in the neighborhood that night for dinner and the movie Eclipse. By the time I got home I wasn't feeling very good. I spent a little too much time in the sun without sunscreen and I got quite the sunburn. Good reminder!
Kristin - Steal my phone number from your lame husband and call me so we can get together!!! We are honestly booked until August, but lets get a date on the calendar. Oh - yeah and cute little girls you have!
