Boise has a hot air balloon fest that we woke up early to go see. It was amazing how many people got up before dawn to go watch. It made me really glad to live in such a family friendly city.
Ellis and Sara at the balloons. Sara looks a bit overwhelmed.
Sara had a chance to go to her first birthday party. Her buddy, Rex, turned two. Sara was a little crabby at the party, perhaps because we made her wear the silly hat. Ellis is making a sad face since she was crabby.
One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to go to the pool. Sara and I went to the pool twice earlier this summer so I wanted to go one last time before it got cold.

We have been asking Sara what she wants to be when she grows up. Currently she is practicing to be a dancer. We haven't had the heart to tell her she will be way too tall for that.
Both Ellis and I love to be outdoors and to camp. Its always been a big part of our summers so we decided we needed to go camping at least once this summer. So we crossed our fingers and headed into the mountains for some camping with Sara. We went to one of our favorite car camping spots which is just a few hundred feet from a hot springs in the river. Overall, we had a great time. Sara had a few breakdowns at night but nothing too out of the ordinary. I think camping with a 4 month old is probably a lot easier than a mobile 1 year old.
One advantage of nursing and camping is you don't need to bring food for baby.

no camping trip is complete without a very dirty child...
