We went to the Balloon Festival last weekend. We love going to this every year and the kids always love seeing all the balloons and different shapes. Brownlees came out for the weekend and my parents are here for a while too. We had a great time! :)

We left the house super-early that morning and picked up coffee & donuts to eat once we got to the show. Emily and Alex thought it was awesome eating donuts outside -- talk about living the life!! :)

We counted over 60 balloons that morning!

Matt and Dad had a great time talking -- whether about balloons, military or their motorcycles. :)

And everwhere Nana went, Emily was sure to follow! :)

We love our cousins!! :)

Alex and Papa watching the balloons! :)

They were handing out clown noses for the kids -- isn't she so cute?! :)

We got to watch a few of the balloons from our backyard -- I love N Canton in the summer! :)

Emily loves her Aunt Krissy -- and what's not to love, right?! :)

Woops!

Alex fell down our steps from the kitchen into the backyard and crashed on the concrete. This picture actually looks better than it had at first. Poor thing! But to make a bad situation a little better, we overheard this conversation after the accident.

Alex: (crying)
Emily: Does it hurt?
Alex: Uh-huh.
Emily: Are you ok?
Alex: No. (still crying)
Emily: It's ok, Alex. Your sister is here and I will take care of you.

Now how sweet is that?! :)
