This has been a fun week!

Thursday evening was arts/music night at the elementary school.  Nick had a really fun time and Matt bounced around from one activity to the next.  They had drums, an instrument petting zoo, and art projects for activities.

Friday night we went to the world famous Plano Balloon Festival.  We arrived just as the evening balloon take off was happening.  Then we walked around the various booths, collected lots of stickers, and spun the wheel to win some prizes.  After dark they had a "balloon glow" where you could walk around the balloon launch area and watch them light up.  It was pretty awesome.  Finally, we waited in line for the kids to go on the bungee jump trampoline thing.  

Saturday we went to Nicholas' football game which they won 21-0.  Nick liked getting to play running back for part of the game.

Things that broke this week:  air conditioning on the Lexus; the liftgate on the Suburban, and the air blower on the spa.

Matt's quote for the week comes from the bungee jump trampoline at the festival when he said "I'm petrified."  The guy who worked there commented that he had never heard a 5 year old use the word "petrified" before.  That's our Matt.

Wow - didn't know that Nick played football. I'd love to come to a game. Let me know when the next couple are!
