We got to enjoy a local festival here in Simpsonville on Memorial Day. It's called the "Freedom Aloft" Festival and it's got a ton of hot air balloons that take off every evening from the venue..probably close to 100 ballons. We saw some over our house Sunday night and it was pretty fun to see. Over at the fair grounds we were able to sample a bunch of the local foods and ate some traditional goodies like cotton candy. We watched some of the frisbee dog trials which were amazing. The kids both tried out the suspended trampoline. I tried to persuade them to flip but I think both were a little overwhelmed at how high they were jumping. We also ran into a funny clown that put these weird coned helmets on the kids heads (yes, that includes Dale) and they played ring around the head. The pictures explain it better. Jason and Libby (and Addison) were able to meet up with us at the festival too. We ended our day with building wooden bird houses (free activity..too cool) and riding the train at the park. Exhausting but fun day!

Looks like you had a fun Memorial weekend. Addison is so cute, I bet the kids loved having her around. I like your bookshelf... I need to start the Twilight Series now that summer is finally here.

Looks like you guys had a good time. Kevin had to work the whole weekend and I was not up to doing anything.

Your little niece is so cute and I'm sure she loved staying with you guys. I know Audrey would have a blast hanging with you guys.
