Beach Days and Balloon Fest 2012


Last week some friends introduced us to Mackworth Island. A walking path circles the island with smaller paths down to the beach. It is also home to a fairy house city of magnificent proportions. The kids loved visiting so much we had to go back this week---the lure of hermit crabs and crabs and tide pools and so much beach to explore was too much for just a one time visit...

coolest hermit crabs ever...




fairy houses!




such handsome dudes...

so sweet: Jaden took a spill and was limping so Jeremie came over and held his hand --and Jaden's limp was magically cured! Friendship is the cure for many pains...

Balloon Fest

Today we went to the Balloon Festival. Last year we decided that the early morning balloon launches are the best--the cool crisp morning air, a much less crowded walk along the river while we watch...followed by doughnuts at Georgio's...nothing tops a balloon fest morning and this one was no different.
