This year, we went to the balloon glow with Sara, Nathan and Ian, and met Pat, Kristy, Jeff and Jules at Forest Park. We hoped to see our friends, the Forths and the Olliges' when we were there, but with such a huge crowd (as you can see below) it was nearly impossible to find ANYONE. We even lost Pat & Kristy shortly after we found them. We had a great time, well, most of us. Charlotte was pretty excited about the balloons the entire day, but once we arrived, she was terrified of all the noises, the fire, and the huge balloons hovering above. She was like velcro, we didn't even need to hang on to her, a bonus since we carried her the whole time.
The next day, after such a traumatic experience at the balloon glow, what did she talk about? "Go to balloon glow Mommy! Yeah!" - we may never understand.
Oh DEER!
We frequently walk in some of the neighborhoods near our house that back to woods in hopes of seeing deer. We have this one hot spot that we go to on every walk and see deer there about 80% of the time because the family that lives in this particular lot feed the deer. It is so fun to go looking for them on our walks/bike rides. All summer, we have been watching the babies grow up. This day, we saw 4 Doe and 4 Fawns all at once, and then another Doe and Fawn in another lot. This is one of the best pictures we have gotten of the deer because it wasn't as dark yet. They aren't all in the picture, but it is still really neat.
