It’s my favorite weekend in Erie!  We all got up early, and as part of out BB10k training, we ran up to the golf course to watch the balloons launch.  It was a little touch and go with the weather, but finally the balloons were up up and away!

In other news:

It’s been raining.  A lot.  But this rainbow was amazing.

Blake’s Kindergarten class hatched chicks.  They are the absolute stars of the classroom.  No one can leave them alone. 🙂

We had our last Chic fli a breakfast before Halle and Kaden go off to Middle School.  Cry!  We’ve done this a bunch of times over the years and we are sad to see the tradition end. 

I got to chaperone the 2nd grade field trip to the Wild Life Sanctuary.  We had a great time looking at the bears, tigers, lions, etc from the mile long catwalk. We especially loved reading about their rescues from abusive and/or illegal situations. 

Slave labor.

Josh opened a bank account with the money he earned from reaching his 100 mile goal.  He is so excited to write his first check 🙂
