In early August, Kinley and I went back to Centralia for the Annual Balloon Fest. Unfortunately right before we left town, Kinley started getting sick. She spent most of the trip with a 102+ fever and we even had to make a trip to Urgent Care to r/o UTI. Oh, man, holding her down for a straight cath was HORRIBLE. She was just laying there crying and screaming "help me momma". Break my heart!
By late Friday/early Saturday she started to feel better and we were able to do more. On Friday night we went to Jordan and Britt's to watch the balloon's fly over and play at the playground at Trinity. Kinley thought the balloons were pretty cool. Saturday morning my Grandpa came over to visit with Kinley. I was worried how she would be with him because she doesn't like new people these days. But, she must have remembered him because she did great. Even gave him some kisses. That afternoon we met Mariah, and ALL the Ballantini's at the Balloon Fest for music, bouncy houses, train rides, and of course, lemon shake-ups. Afterwards everyone came over for a grill out. Kinley and Jordyn ended up bonding and were inseperable. It was so cute watching them play and "chat" with each other. The night ended wonderfully with MJ, my mom, and myself drinking wine and chatting on the patio.
We had such a great visit and can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Kinley insisted on holding Tony's hand. She even
pushed Grandpa away and said "no" when he tried to take
Tony's place. Broke Grandpa's heart. |
 |
| Who knew she would dig the Ton-ster so much! |
 |
| Will you be my new best friend? |
 |
| You will! Yeah! Love this adorable smile. |
 |
| Let's seal the deal. Friends for Life |

Finally warmed up to Uncle Jordy. Think it was the chips?
Just kidding. She loves Uncle Jordy |
 |
| Still needed that chip though |
