Well folks, been out of the loop for a few days. We had family visiting through Friday morning, and then spent the weekend with my daughter and her family. Nice to get out of town and travel around a bit. Don't know how to catch up on 300+ trusted emails - I'm already suffering guilt-delete pangs.
My daughter lives in a lake community about 4 miles outside of Eaton, Ohio called Lakengren. This place started some 40 years ago selling off lots and now it rivals nearby Eaton in population, with over 2,000 dwellings. Lakefront lots around the mile-and-a-half long man-made lake are prized and ornately developed, while the outlying properties may be little more than your basic slab house on a gravel road. My daughter's place is somewhere in between.
They have their own fireworks display, financed primarily by the Gaydosh family who handle most of the communities real estate dealings, and some other business people who live there.
So, we hit the lake on my son-in-laws pontoon boat about 6 pm, ready to cruise and relax until the fireworks started. About 8 pm, we had an unexpected delight that pretty much upstaged the fireworks. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
This was a great rush of fun, I counted a dozen different balloons!
The mixwit are some standout tracks from the weekend. My son had the MGMT on a mix he had made, and I told him how much I liked that track; never having heard them before. He got me good - looked me straight in the eye and said, "MGMT? Well they're just kids..."

MGMT... great album - not so sturdy live just yet - they're a young band though ;) Your son has a point !!! ;P
I like it. Sort of a cross between Clinic and the Polyphonic Spree in a way.
Always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon, but never have been. Very cool pics!
Well, their studio sound is very mature Lizzie. Let's hope that's not just the hand of an expert producer!
Yes, I hear the Spree side toronno, but I do not know Clinic(sounds like I should?) so I'm missing half the equation.
I think that would be cool too Groon. I did go skydiving some, quite a rush - but peaceful in a way too.
