Hot Air Balloon Glow

18 September...Friday night we all went to the hot air balloon glow in Forrest Park. It was really neat being able to walk up to the balloons and see them light up.

Evelyn really enjoyed the hot air balloons. Although, we think she enjoyed watching the gymnastics kids doing flips and jumps on the trampoline a little more.

Dads weekend away

12-13 September...While dad went on a golf weekend with some guys from work, mom and Evelyn did a little playing of their own. On Friday, we went to the zoo for a free night of seeing the animals, riding the train, riding the merry-go-round, and having a picnic in the park. Then on Saturday, we went to the St Louis Polish Festival with our neighbors Mark and ChooChoo.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend we were actually at home! Crazy huh? We did some things around the house and painted the garage floor. But the really exciting thing was that Ev has decided that she is a big girl and is now determined to go on the potty! She has had a couple of dry days already! I knew that once she was ready it would be pretty fast! Mom and Dad are so proud!

Mom's Triathlon in Chicago

At the end of August we were off to Chicago on the 28th for mom to complete her triathalon...which she did...whoooo hooooo! Now mom is going to rest for awhile. Hopefully we will post pictures soon. Grandma and Grandpa Dale were able to join us for the event.

Swimming in the 64 degree water of Lake Michigan...

After the race with mom and Ev...

Back at the hotel with Lori and ChooChoo.

Late August Adventures

We sure are busy. The weekend of August 22nd and 23rd we went boating with Mark and Choo choo at the Lake of the Ozarks. Ev really seemed to like boating except that it was pretty cool. We spent a lot of time cruising the lake and just relaxing.
