Hot Air Balloons

This event looks good in pictures, but it was way too late for our kids, especially after a long day involving a drive, a lake, and dear friends from out of town (ironic that we drove out of town to see these out of town friends?  Better than out of the country, which is where they were from!). Anyway, by the time we walked back to our car, Grant and I were both nodding to each other, "Never again."  Well, ok, maybe not never.  But I attempted at one point to carry Charlotte in front in my wrap and Wyatt on my back, which should give you some idea of the fuss a few minutes of walking was kicking up.  It seemed like an appropriate time for an "uphill both ways in the snow" story, but it was just too noisy.
