Cedar Point!!

The three of us made our yearly trip to Cedar Point. We spent 2 days there and it was great. No cell phones or computers, just the three of us spending time together. We all love the roller coasters, but it took a little convincing to get Jacob on the Top Thrill Dragster. He was in tears the first time we got in line because he was scared, so we didn't go. By the end of the day he was ready. It's now his favorite ride. The boys begged to go on it again the next day, so much for the water park. We did spend a few hours in Soak City, but then it was back to the coasters. :)

Pool Fun!

Here are some pictures from the Luter's pool party. Everyone had a great time.





















Adam doesn't like the pool, but he sure loves the water guns.
















Casey in mid air, I have a lot of these pics.
















James taking a dive.
















Cannonball!
















Hannah...isn't she cute.

Ground Crew

I have been helping a fellow co-worker/friend with their hot air balloons for a few years now. I have been up 3 times so far, and it is awesome. For the most part I help setup, chase, and bring down the balloon. Jacob went with me last time to see what it was all about. He wants to go up next time. If you ever have the chance to take a ride, it is well worth it. There is also a hot air balloon festival in Midland in September that is always fun.

Up up and away....

















Sometimes there are other ballooners that go up too.
It's fun to watch them all, very beautiful and peaceful.

















Nice soft landing.






















Jacob testing out the basket, I think he's excited to go up next time.
