July 4th and Balloon Festival

We went to the parade in downtown Steamboat on the 4th of July.  It was super hot but lots of fun. Ethan's favorite part was sitting on the fire truck to watch the parade!

We watched fire works from the DeCrette's house - PRIME TIME viewing area (near Howelsen Hill where the fireworks were being launched from).  Ethan stayed up really late and had lots of fun with Carsen and Jackie!

Last weekend we went to our first Balloon Rodeo in Steamboat.  It was sooooo much fun.  We woke the kids up at 5am and biked to Bald Eagle Lake in East Steamboat.  I rode with Kenzie in the bjorn and Adam took Ethan in the bike trailer.

 The first obstacle of the "rodeo" - all balloons have to touch their basket down on Bald Eagle Lake.
 
 It was pretty muddy - nice work, E. (notice Ethan's sneakers)
