Saturday morning, our one day a week to sleep in, we got up before the sun (5:00am) to head over to the Erie Town Fair to watch over 30 hot air balloons take to the air at 6:00am. It was an amazing experience and a lot of fun! We took 150 pictures of the Balloon Launch and one video. The video is currently horizontal, but if I can ever figure out how to rotate it, I’ll repost it. The balloons were set-up right next to the hundreds of spectators. We had a balloon go up on either side of where we were standing! If you ever wanted to know how hot air balloons are prepared for flight, be sure to check out all the pictures and the video, which details the balloon directly to our right being filled with hot air.

After all the balloons were airborne we headed south from Erie to Westminster to spend the day with friends at their annual community garage sale. The weather could not have been better for spending time outside, about 80*! It was wonderful, so much sun that my arms are currently a nice shade of red. We didn’t bring much to sell but we did make $18 on what we sold and Noah bought a new set of golf clubs for $20. So, the next garage sale, Noah will sell his old ones…for at least $20.

After the garage sale, Noah went golfing with some of the guys then we went out to see Iron Man. Awesome awesome movie! If you want to be entertained for two hours, I highly recommend the film. When it comes out on DVD, it will be added to our collection. Up at 5:00am and to bed at 1:00am made for a very long but very fun day! Did I mention we only had 5 hours of sleep the night before and then 6 hours last night? I think I need a nap…
