Balloon Glow

Wow! This was a great night! Every fall they have The Great Forest Park Balloon Race in Forest Park. In the past we would be on the way home from picking apples, and, we would look to see if we could spot any hot air balloons. This year we decided to go down to Forest Park the Friday night before the race for their annual balloon glow. We drove down and met Catherine at the history museum there in Forest Park. We walked through the Katherine Dunham: Beyond the Dance exhibit. After the history museum, we went to dinner at Fitz's. We found a great parking spot for the balloon race. We set out among the huge crowd of people. It was neat watching all the balloons get set up! We had a great time. Unfortunately, it took us 1 and 1/2 hours to even get out of Forest Park. But we did make it home!! We will definitely be putting this on our calendar next year!!

Floating Down the River

A couple of Saturdays ago, we went on a float trip with my sister, Catherine, and her husband, John. Instead of renting rafts and everything from a rafting company, we thought it would be fun to buy our own rafts. Catherine always comes over on Fridays and goes grocery shopping with us. That Friday we took a trip to Dicks Sporting Goods. We found a four man raft on sale for 24.95. We also got a two man raft that was on sale for 12.95. We got both rafts for close to the cost of the rental of one person. We got ores and life jackets at Cabella's. Catherine looked up places to put in. It all worked out despite some of the questions Mom and Dad might have had. :) Overall we took a 6.8 mile float (according to Google maps). It was a great day!!

Notice the life jackets didn't last long! :)

"The Art of Brick"

When we went to Kansas City the last weekend in July, my brother, David, and his wife, Ayanna, took us to the Crown Center mall. There they had a LEGO exhibit, "The Art of Brick". It was a free walk through of these amazing LEGO sculptures. They had about 30 sculptures all made out of LEGO bricks. It was really neat. After we walked through the exhibit, we visited the the Hallmark visitor center. It was across the street from the Crown Center. It was a lot of fun. We had a great weekend in Kansas City!! Thanks David and Ayanna!!
