Hot air balloons!!

Today was Mommy's Saturday to work so Ethan hung out with Daddy this morning, and then they came to bring Mommy lunch at work and hang out for a little bit! It was Ethan's first time visiting Mommy at work since he's been born, and he got to meet some of her co-workers. He was doing his happy grunt and making them laugh!

After Mommy got home from work, Daddy rocked out on some Guitar Hero, and we sat down to nurse and Ethan started making his little "puh" sound... he has been puckering his lips together and making a "p" sound and blowing air... it is so funny!! Then Mommy and Ethan fell asleep again... Mommy has a lot of sleep to catch up on!! After we woke up, we drove to Smith Park in Middletown to see the Hot Air Balloon Festival. We didn't get there until around 8:30 or 9, but it was awesome timing because we wanted to see the balloon glow! We got to see a lot of the balloons inflate, and they had countdowns and then all of the balloons would light up together! It was really a lot of fun and Mommy thinks it's the best festival she's ever been to. Ethan loved looking at the bright colors of the balloons and seeing all the people! We are looking forward to making this a family tradition and heading back as he gets older - there were tons of activities for kids!! Daddy was happy because he got all three of his favorite festival foods - fresh lemonade (from a stand that was on Food Network's Unwrapped!), funnel cake, and a yummy corn dog. We really recommend the festival if you are looking for something fun to do!! It looks like it is an annual event in July. Check out their website: http://www.ohiochallenge.com
