We went out to Antelope Island last weekend for the Ballon Festival. Gayla (Soupie's Mom) has been on the comitee that puts on the festival for the past 3 or 4 years. We have never seen any balloons since we have been going the last couple of years, I don't know why they call it the Balloon Festival. The weather is always too rainy, too windy or both. It is pretty fun though, and the weather is perfect for kite flying.
This is Carlee, Tayler and me at the Baloon Festival. Tayler is flying Carlee's kite.
We counted about 40 kites in the sky at one time. Carlee's kite is the larger kite just to the right of the biggest kite shown. Carlee did a good job navigating her kite in the traffic.
Tayler comforting Carlee as she is getting a temporary tatoo.
Tayler wanted to get a temorary tatoo also. Grandma Gayla helping Tayler get her first ink done.
This is the same picture on the train at the Baloon Festival as we took last year. There is quite a difference in the growth of both Carlee and Tayler since last time.
The girls enjoying a monster snow cone at the Balloon Festival. There were plenty of treats and fun things to eat.
Carlee and Tayler posing in front of award winning sheep. Tayler was afraid to pet the sheep, she did like the goats, and especially liked grabbing onto there tails.
This is Tayler riding a pony. She thought is was pretty cool, and felt big like her sister when she rides horses. She looked cute, she had her hands perfectly placed on the saddles horn.
We have had a good summer. We are happy to have such good memories of the fun things we have done with our family, from fireworks, Bear Lake, camping out in Ephraim, Dad's open house, getting together at the park for Savanah's Birthday, spaghetti dinners, and all the other times we got together.
It really is nice to have a family that is close, and can handle being with each other (even though it may be in small doces at times).
Hopefully we can find some fun things to do this fall and winter to keep the memories coming.

It looks like it was a fun day. That is funny that it's always too windy to have balloons at a balloon event. We are already looking forward to this Christmas season when we get to come back up to Utah to play. We love and miss you all.
It seems like you guys are always doing something fun together. I'm glad you have had a good summer and hope the fall is just as fun.
looks like fun! that is funny, I wanted to get tayler pink converse, and Carli was like no, she doesn't like pink then she picked out orange. I was thinking she will probably never wear the orange, but I was wrong! they are super cute!! I am used to savvy who is pink obsesssed. you are lucky tayler will wear whatever, just wait.....
Glad you had so much fun at the Balloon Festival. We always love having you guys over. I wish I could figure out another night for the family for Spagetti dinner, any suggestions?
