Fourth of July!

 At Carol and Ron's annual fourth of July BBQ - the kids had so much fun, and then of course rounding the night off with street fireworks

 The first fireworks terrified Annabelle - She really seemed to enjoy them later though from behind the closed gate:)

 Oooh! That's so cool!

 Jack and Mikey - the little pyros! They helped Stephen with all the lighting and set up.

Fourth of July Hot Air Balloon Launch

 We went to the annual hot air balloon launch on Tuesday, July 3rd.  Jack is dressed up as a clone trooper because he was hoping the Darth Vader Balloon would be there again this year, no such luck, but we had a really good time! I think it is the first year that the weather cooperated well enough, no wind so ALL the balloons could launch, fly and land again - it was awesome!

 We were right next to the smokey bear balloon, I love that one! Jack said they were all his favorites, and Annabelle's favorite was the pink pig balloon.
