orchard and chicken

such a sweet face...



looking at pumpkins...



levi was very excited about all the "appas"


but what was most exciting about the orchard\pumpkin patch??
the free roaming chickens. it was seriously all he wanted to do. did he want to feed the goats, or look at the baby pigs that were born a day earlier? NO...
just this lone chick please, mama...

i chased him out of the store and found him here...



needless to say chicken didn't stick around..

hot air jubilee

This past weekend was our towns Hot Air Jubilee. It's a festival for hot air balloons, and 40+ balloons were scheduled to take to the sky 5 times over 3 days. Levi loves balloons, so we decided it would be worth throwing the schedule to the wind, getting the wristbands for the weekend and going....
too bad they never went up.
it was beautiful.... but too windy.
they went up Sunday morning which was the 1 launch we couldn't go attend.
sad.
Anyway, we still had tons of fun and Levi was able to see some "ba's"


Playing on an anitque tractor.
My mom knew the man who owned it, so he let Levi play.
He loved it!


We decided to stay for the afterglow, which is when the balloons go up after dark.
They don't lift off, but just light up, it's very pretty.



This is probably my favorite picture.
Mike took it while Levi and I were watching.







While this picture is crapola, you can totally sense his excitement.
That was the do not cross line. We were as close as we could get, and we literally had to hold him so he wouldn't cross over into the field with all the balloons and pilots.

Almost up!



Beautiful!!

water table


Today we went to a children's museum.

We had a great time, and Levi's favorite activity was by far the water table.
We will definitely be re-visiting this small town gem.

Oh and I promise birthday pics soon.
My sister took them, so I have to wait for to get them to me.
