Balloon Glow 2009

The weather for this year’s Bluegrass Balloon Festival was awful, and rain canceled most of the events, but we did get to see the balloon glow one evening before more storms rolled in.  It was, as always, very cool to see all of the balloons up close like that.

Summer Fun – At The Zoo Water Park

Ahhhhh cool water on a hot day – what fun!

At Ye Olde Faire

The whole family and a few friends went to the KY Renaissance Faire, a favorite of the kids.  There were a lot of new games and attractions there this year, and the weather was beautiful. This was Joshua’s first fair and Sarah’s first where she could actually walk around and enjoy it.

We got to play, see a few shows and even enjoy the Tournament (complete with Jousting)!

It was also fun to see all of the people dressed up in various costumes.  There were faries and pirates and knights and priests all over the place!

Summer Saturday

It’s 90 degrees and bright and sunny, so the kids wanted to come to the zoo. Ours has a water park that’s free to members so they took bathing suits “just in case” … so we saw three animals and then straight to the water! Lots of fun!

Summer’s Here?

Well, after a week and more of digging and leveling a spot in the yard, the pool is up, so it must be summer.  The first day it was filled and the water was 67 and the boys “just had to” climb in.

They were brave, though, and played around for almost ten minutes before giving up to let it warm up for a few days.
