Ashland Balloon Fest

went with nana/papa to ashland for the 'Balloon Fest', which we never saw. BUT... there was a petting zoo! zac and the yak make friends while ali uses the carrot approach with a goat. who needs balloons.






we loved our new garage-sale find red wagon and were hoping to see the big balloons take off, or at least 'glow' at night. but the 'wind' kept them all from anything fun, except for 'twinkling', where they just shoot their fire in the air. ali hid behind her bunny and zac just wanted more fair food.






summer means... getting the last of the ice cream out of the bowl, growing a thistle garden in the backyard and making best use of squirt guns!





so bubba just crawled from the big side of the couch to this little area next to me and cuddled in. amy loves looking at his feet.
