Forrest Park Balloon Race

What is the perfect way to start your day if you are a 2 year-old boy?

Of course - going to a parade to get C-A-N-D-Y! 

And who would give Caleb such a large and bright bag to collect his candy?  Uncle Phil, of course!

We spent the day with Aunt Emily, Uncle Phil & baby Bella!

Caleb took a quick break between bites of candy to take a picture with me!  Isn't he cute!

After the parade we went back to Aunt Emily's house to play with Bella.

The kids were having so much fun playing with Bella's toys!

Caleb was so excited to have someone smaller than him!

After a quick rest for Caleb & Bella we all went to the Forrest Park Balloon race! 

What a beautiful sight with all the balloons!

Next year we'll need to go to see the balloons glow.

Caleb kept showing Bella all the balloons.

Time to feed Bella - that was way more interesting that the big balloons in the sky!

Mommy's favorite balloon:

Since the kids lost interest with the balloons, Aunt Emily & I tried to entertain them . . . or maybe we were entertaining ourselves . . . at any rate we were laughing so hard I could barely stand at one point!

What grace!  What beauty!  Of course, I have control of the pictures, so I'm not posting any of me . . . you'll just have to use your imagination!
