This is how dark it was yesterday morning when Lily and I left the house to go to a hot air balloon race. Each year this race is launched just a short jaunt from our house and each year they launch the balloons at some ungodly time. We were meant to go on Saturday but we didn't wake up in time however yesterday I got up at 5 .33 and woke up Lily and we snuck out. Lily thought it was a great adventure to leave the house before the sun was up but at the same time she was a little bit scared. Lily HATES the dark. You should see how many lights this child needs on to go to sleep at night.
Here is one of the balloon racers testing his "engines". Lily jumped about 10 feet when he cranked it up.

We were back home by 8.30 and getting ready for the second part of the day which was meeting Ed, Jenny and Ebby at a park.
Rosie got her first taste of a water park and yes, those are socks she is wearing cos the concrete gets super slippy and I don't have any pool shoes for her uber tiny feet yet.

After lunch Rosie decided that Auntie Jen really is the bestest thing since sliced bread and actually went to her. We are so happy. She still isn't so sure about Uncle Ed which is a reverse of Lily's situation when she was that age.

And she kept going back for more and more

After the park we came for a while cos Lily and I needed a nap! After dinner we headed to the airport because one of the couples that we travelled to China with in 2003 and have remained in contact with had a layover in Miami on their way home so we got to see them. It was as if no time had past at all since we were with them last. We also took our friend CF with us cos she travelled to China with us and knows Jeff and Jill also. We only had a short time with them but it was so great to see them.
Gosh I wish we lived closer.

We used to love watching the hot air balloons every weekend where we lived in Coral Springs. That is, until they built up the empty spaces with shopping centers and the balloonists had to leave. I miss them!
Kerri is scared of the dark too.
By the way, if you are ever in the Palm Beach area, the zoo there has a wonderful water park area!
Great pics and great fun..love it!!
