While driving back to the RV park from the playground we saw a beautiful sight. We looked at one of the large fields by a shopping center and saw that someone was preparing a hot air balloon for flight. So we pulled over. Here is the balloon when we first pulled in…

And a bit more hot air added….

Then it was up in the air….

It wasn’t until it was up in the air that I realized that it was the same balloon I had taken a photo of last year over the lake at the RV park. Sure enough a few minutes after we were back at the RV we saw the balloon over the lake! :)

A couple of days after Tim’s birthday we took all of the kids to a playground that was near their house. Here is a picture of Josh getting off of a slide…

Uncle Tim gave all of the girls a big spin on the tire swing….

A picture of my little niece Meghan…

The thoughtful Timmy gazing out over the playground…

My brother’s other daughter, Ashleigh…

Uncle Tim and Aunt Andi spinning Josh until he was dizzy…

The girls riding on a piece of playground equipment. The girls were the Three Musketeers all week in Atlanta…

The Monday after the Frogtown Challenge was my brother’s birthday. We went to a wonderful Japanese restaurant in Cumming. Of course Japanese food is a favorite for myself and all three kids so we ate a lot of food! :)

Here is my brother Tim with the birthday hat from the restaurant…

And here is a picture of all of the family around the table…

After closing up camp in Pennsylvania we headed to Atlanta so my mom and I could run (walk) the 4 mile Frogtown Challenge with my sister-in-law Andrea. Here are the three of us before the race…

The Frogtown Challenge is a trail run through the woods crossing creeks and running through mud. Here is a picture of my mom and me crossing the first creek…

The trail got harder from there…

Here is a picture of all three of us getting ready to cross the river balancing on a log…

And a picture of the three of us when we made it across the log…

Here is a picture of the three of us crossing the last creek…

Here is a picture of Andrea and me crossing the finish line…

And my mom crossing the finish line…

We had a lot of fun. There were people who ran the 10 mile challenge who finished before us but at least we were still standing and moving after our 4 miles! :)

We decided to change the sofa a bit while we were in Pennsylvania….

We decided that we needed more storage space and that the hide away bed doesn’t get much use…

Now we have lots of useable space! :)
