Wilmore Fall Festival

We had a great time at the Wilmore Fall Festival this year. The boys are all about snakes these days and I just loved the funky snakes this artist painted. We enjoyed live music, the farmer's market, kettle corn, visited with friends & bought several of our Christmas gifts here this year, supporting our local artists.

Cowboys

Here's a couple of my favorite buck-a-roos! Caleb was so excited to go to his friend's Cowboy birthday party all dressed in his genuine Cowboy gear. (all purchased in Texas - of course : )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL!

Joel had a great birthday today. We went to his School and delivered the super-cool Spider man cupcakes that he picked out. Here he is right after the class sang him Happy Birthday.

Then for his Family celebration he wanted to go to our local Mexican Restaurant so that he could wear the sombrero while they sang him Happy Birthday.

Caleb Gets his Cast off

Hooray!

Glass Works in Louisville

Before we headed home from the Balloon Festival we checked out the Glass Works in Louisville. We took a tour and watched a couple of glass working demonstrations. This is a picture of one of the guys glass blowing - He made that bottle in his hands in less than 10 minutes! Pretty cool place we really enjoyed it - in fact Paul and Joel said they liked it even more than the Balloon Festival.

Hot Air Balloon Festival

Louisville hosts a Hot Air Balloon Festival every year & I was so happy we caught it this year. We headed up Friday Night for the Balloon Glow which was absolutely beautiful. If you're in the area you should check out this festival. All you pay for is your parking and food, everything else is free. They have lots of bouncy houses set up, kids games, a health fair with all kinds of activities, live music, fireworks, free breakfast on Saturday morning and of course food vendors & a craft fair. Lot's of fun!

Here's Joel climbing the rock wall. We really felt bad for Caleb, he wanted to do this so bad but they wouldn't let him with his broken arm (imagine that). They almost didn't let him in the bouncy houses either - So glad they did or the festival would have been a total bust for him.

Inside a hot air balloon. This was pretty cool. They had a balloon on it's side with a big fan blowing air in it. We got to walk around inside the balloon and the boys loved to hide in the folds of the panels.

Early Saturday Morning we headed out to the airfield to catch the race. All the balloons came in over the horizon & flew right over our heads, I kept trying to count how many but there were too many to tell. At least 40, but I think there were probably more than that.

There were balloons in all shapes & colors. We would see one & say that's our favorite then an even better one would fly over our heads. But, we all especially loved the specialty balloons like this rocket, there was also a bear, a cow, and a birthday cake.
