Balloons and a Birthday

Meadville has a hot air balloon festival every year it is called the Thurston Classic. We headed out to watch the balloon race Friday night but they did not launch. Too windy perhaps? It was a gorgeous evening for a picnic just the same.
Saturday night was much better.

They didn't fly Peanut this year, but they did let everyone come down on the field to see it up close. Meanwhile they handed out business cards so you could have Peanut come to your birthday party. My children were sure they had been handed a ticket for a free ride. Ha.

 Father's Day

 How special to be with Tristan on his birthday.
