The balloon glow





Granddaddy and Gramma came to visit over Cherry Blossom and one of the most exciting events is the balloon glow out at Macon State College.  There were bouncy houses for the kids, food, and giant balloons that they light up at dusk.  We met several our friends and their kids for a picnic dinner and watched the balloons...it was great.  I have Mary's husband, Steve, to thank for the pictures!

Cherry Blossom Time









The Cherry Blossom Festival is something that Macon looks forward to every year.  It lasts for 10 days and it really is 10 days of fun.  Balloon glows, rides, food, music, and arts and crafts galore!  Of course, the highlight for Sam is the fair with the rides, animals, and food.  We met some of our friends there.....a couple of Sams' girl friends....Mia and Maran.  Paige had a good time as well, watching her big brother, and eating suckers all day to keep her in the stroller for the most part.
