The 11th-13th June was a busy weekend here in Coshocton! We had the MMS spiritual life seminar from Thursday-Saturday which was a good chance to spend some time with the other MMS families with some guest speakers. The kids had separate sessions and Abigail had lots of fun making things, colouring and playing in her group during that time!
Friday to Saturday was the Coshocton County Balloon Festival ... unfortunately due to stormy weather the skies were only filled with balloons once during that time but we just happened to be out and looking up when they did manage to fly off!
One flew right over our house ... Abigail was really excited to see the brightly coloured balloons flying overhead ... as were we!!!
On the Saturday evening they have a 'Night Glow' which was really effective ... the cute 'old style' fire engine keeping watch on events is not an old style one at all but an every day working machine!!
On the Sunday there was a Corvette car rally at Roscoe village with a couple of hundred cars of all ages, lining the streets ... but all in great condition ... some lovingly restored and some brand new!
It was so interesting to see all the different shapes and styles and we had a chance to chat to some of the owners too (Mark spent a lot of time deciding which one he would like to own in his retirement!!).
Something that did amuse us were all the personalised number plates we saw ... here are just a few of them ...
All these events were completely free of charge and a lot of fun ... Jenny's friend Rachel was here from the UK (more to come on her visit!) but it was great to be able to share these memories with her too!
