The night before the race (Friday night) they have something called "The Glow in the Park". It is neat because about every 10 or 15 mins a siren goes and all the balloons light up. It is awesome! And at 9 PM that night they had fireworks...which we heard from a distance...we headed out a little early because of traffic. And we were glad we did because we heard them while we were walking and it was soooo loud. Avin would have been scared. It took us about 25 mins to walk to Glow and the same heading out. The park was packed! Here are a few pictures.
One of the balloons was packing up for the night and we tried to get Avin to touch it and he didn't want to. He loves balloons and he loves seeing the big ones from a distance but didn't know what to think when we went up close. Maybe he was thinking "mom, it is just a bunch of material, what's the big deal??"
The next day we went to the MAGIC HOUSE! And magic it is....it was so fun! We spent about two hours in here and still didn't see everything. The place is massive!
Avin has this little Gear toy at home that he loves, so this was like heaven to him! lol
Vernie and Avin sliding down a big slide. FUN!
How cool is this....giant Lego's in a room all to them self! We had a blast!
The have a little play grocery store....the kids can shop and do self checkout or another kid can play cashier! Fun stuff!
Cheese anyone??
This was a little river in the flooring. You could watch fish (fake of course) floating around and walk on them!
Our little mechanic. He liked pushing the horn button.
Working on the car....all of this is just to cool. Kids can pretend to be mechanic working on this car. You can take the tires off and put them back on. It can't get any better than this...can it??
Our little fireman has come to save the day!
My boys...
Avin loves computers because mommy and daddy play on them at home. He just wants to be like us. Here, he can without getting into trouble! I guess this might be teaching them to do it at home but oh well. :)
He kept acting like the mouse was a phone. lol
Bye Bye Magic House. There are so many things that we couldn't blog about them all or I would be at the computer all day! No thank you!
Okay, This is a bowling alley that Vernie thinks has the best hot dogs....so he had to go get one. I am sure the people just laughed because he didn't bowl....he just got a hot dog. lol :)
This is the balloon race day. Avin got a free ball from American Airlines. He was having fun kicking and throwing it all over the place.
Vernie won me a free blanket. He just answered a question and we got it!! Yaahoo!! Thanks V.
Can you find the rabbit? The Rabbit wasn't doing well today....they couldn't get him aired up. All the balloons are supposed to chase the rabbit and who ever lands closest to the rabbit wins the race. Well, since they couldn't get him aired up they sent the Macy's balloon first. The others had to find that balloon in order to win.
And of course we had to get an Avin size balloon just for him. :)
Can you find the Pepsi can? So cool!
Neat picture looking up into one of the balloons. Good job V.
We got Avin a balloon race shirt and daddy. Avin kept pointing at the balloons and jabbering to them. :)
He loved this fountain. Each time we walked past it, we had to stop.
Sunday morning we had breakfast with Matt, Beth, JJ and Ty at Denny's. JJ has gotten sooo big and Ty is a little chunky monkey! SOOOOOOOO Cute!! JJ kept wanting Avin to play with him. I loved hearing him so "come on" in his cute little voice. :)
While we were at Denny's...Mommy and Daddy got distracted and Avin decided to play in some syrup....so we had to change his clothes. It was all over the place. Also, on Saturday morning, at Uncle Bills (our favorite pancake house) I was letting him play with the jelly packets and he got into to one of the apple butter packs and it went everywhere. We try to entertain him so we can eat and sometimes it doesn't go as planned!
All tuckered out.....time to go home. :)

It was soo good to see you guys! A is so adorable. He did so well sitting at breakfast!
I think we're going to have to try out the Magic House soon. We haven't even taken JJ there. I don't remember it being so cool! Did you guys do the big slide?
thank you so much.
