Media night - Balloons

June 18th was Media night. Howell every year has a Balloon festival. It is really cool to see. But I think I almost like media night better. It is the night about 2 weeks before the festival that some of the balloons lauch from the local park. They have a big party for the pilots and crew, sponsers and such. They do not advertise it but since I know one of the pilots I find out when it is. You get to get really close to the balloons as they are being inflated. Not as many go up that night but you are really close. Alex has a blast.

This is Alex and August waiting for the fun to begin.
The boys are playing in the sand waiting for the balloons to inflate. Yes we are that close to one.

This is my friends balloon.

This one went up over the trees and then down and floated over the lake.

Visit with Uncle Randy at Grandpa's

Alex and mom went down and met Uncle Randy and Grandpa in South Bend. We did some yard work and had a nice vist. Alex was a big help with the tubes and picking up the fallen branches so Uncle Randy could mow the lawn.

"Lake Alex"

Alex has a new past time. He likes to make a lake in the walk way and get real dirty.

Fieldtrip to the Zoo

Alex's Begindergarten class went to the Potter Park Zoo on 5-29-08 for a field trip. All had a great time. The week before the class made matching T-shirts.
