Natchez Ballon Races

On Sunday while everyone was napping but ME, I took the kids on a walk to the nature trail under the Bluff. As you can see from the two bouncing boys below that everyone was all energetic!
 Of course we didn't make it past the corner of the first block before we had to climb and take a picture.
 By the time we got downtown to Main St. we neede a rest....that is everyone but Parker who was headed straight to the River.
 Silly face pose
 We made it to the river, still very energetic,
 and headed down the trail.
After a couple of hills we reached the STAIRS.... the boys started out strong
 Then Parker quickly caught up. Langley was with me but thankfully she made it up all by herself.
 The look down
 Unfortunately, we didn't see all that much but it was a fun walk and they are celebrating making it up the STAIRS!
 On Saturday, the Hobdy's host a great brunch/early afternoon party for the balloon crew that they host every year. This is the second time we have attended it at Riparian Retreat (click on the link to see the rental cottage) and have a wonderful time!
Langley had a ball and stuck very close to her daddy who kept handing her cookies! As you can see she knew how to work him over!
 It was a warm weekend and as the crowd dwindle the kids started having even more fun. As you can see Langley got a hold of the water gun... 
 and was looking for who was gonna be next!
Parker kept very busy in the beautiful zinnia garden next to the house. The butterflies were everywhere and Parker learned that if she holds a flower that they will come to her (even though it is the other way around in the picture)!

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Bennett and Taylor box sledding but they were moving way too fast! 
 Back at Coco & Poppa Jack's we were busy drawing and scootering 
It was a great weekend with family, friends and great weather! There were balloons too but I just didn't get any on camera!
