Balloons and Blue Angels











We had an aviation themed weekend. Friday night there was a hot-air balloon show and competition locally. We got to participate in a tethered balloon ride and some carnival rides for the boys. The balloon launch was beautiful. After giant ice-cream cones, the boys about fell asleep on the ride home.
Saturday included a short trip to Kings Island amusement park (15 minutes away so we go often).
Sunday we went to the Dayton Air show as Collin has a fascination with the Blue Angels. As it turned out, he enjoyed the kid's tent with the legos more but the adults loved the Blue Angels' performance. We even got a cooling rain sprinkle mid-show.

Fantastic Florida











We had a great time on vacation. All together we had 14 people there. Both of my sisters, Jen and April, their husbands and kids, Grandpa and Zachary. We spent a lot of time at the beach and the pool. The kids loved the lazy river, kids play area, and catching crabs/fish with nets (we let them go). Even with sunscreen, both boys are quite tan now. We spent a day at the Magic Kingdom and Coco Key Waterpark in Orlando and visited Downtown Disney the day we flew back. It was hard to get them still enough for pictures but here are my best attempts.

An update on the little girl in Kaz. A couple of families still are expressing interest in her adoption-isn't that great! They are waiting on the program to open back up. Hopefully the process will work out for them and they will find their little one without too much of a wait. I am so thankful for all of you that asked about her, even if she did not end up being the right child for your family.
