Photo is from Eyes to the Skies, the annual Lisle hot air balloon festival/craft fair/carnival. We get there between noon and 3 to get our hands stamped for free entrance, walk around and check out the food (and coupons!), then return later for the fireworks. That’s been the pattern for years, but since the weather is so mild, we might stay a bit longer this afternoon (usually it’s hot and sticky – you know, typical July in Chicago weather). Other change is DH is working out of town this week and that’s a first as well – positive side to that is PITA and I can stop at each and every craft stall in peace!
