We look forward to the local Balloon Festival EVERY year. We love the fireworks on Friday night and the hot air balloons every morning and evening. (Click here) Last weekend (August 29 & 30) was a rainy, rainy weekend, (Thanks in part to Hurricane Danny and some other fronts passing through CT) so pretty much the Balloon Festival was canceled except for a few vendors, bands and the Fire Department that braved the cold rain!
Unfortunately, the Cub Scouts planned to have a booth to kick-off their Land's End Popcorn Fundraiser! Shaun, the Assistant Cubmaster, Wolf Den Leader & Popcorn Kernal, had been planning this event for a while. This was going to be their major fundraiser for the year--like the Fire Department! They HAD to set up anyway, right!? Yes--the Cub Scouts braved the rain and did an awesome job selling their popcorn in the cold rainy weather! Way to go guys! :)
Even Anneli braved the cold rain...

While we waited for the rain to subside a bit on Saturday morning, we took a quick trip to the CT Science Center--since Shaun hadn't been yet. It was a great way to spend a few warm & dry hours together.
What a great last weekend of summer---even if it was cold and rainy!

Good times in the cold rain and science center.
Stinks about no balloons, though.
