2008 -- New Year's Eve -- Celebratory Fun!

Note:  This is the second post of the day.  Please enjoy the post below this one first as it summarizes Christmas.  Thanks.

This morning, we hopped in the car and headed to Des Moines.  We met an old friend of mine from the college days, along with her four kids and celebrated the Noon Year at the Science Center of Iowa.  We arrived in plenty of time and had a blast playing.
We created bubbles.
This is my favorite picture of the day.
You'll see a video of the balloon drop at the end of this post.   Big Sis sat on Cool Daddy-O's shoulders and caught a balloon.  Lil Sis sat on my shoulders and caught a balloon.  A friend of ours from our home town caught a picture of us, but I don't have it.  I have a picture of our friend's son on his dad's shoulders taken from a distance (not posted).
Here are the girls predicting stormy weather for our forecast.  There's a green wall where the kids can stand and view themselves on a TV screen.  This seems to be a favorite spot.
After we returned home, Lil Sis thought it was dance party time.  
She's so goofy sometimes.
More dancing.
Next came the jumping.
Jumping and dancing.  It was a wild scene.
Mid-air for Lil Sis.  Post jump for Big Sis.
Big Sis takes off.
Mid-air... someone's head is missing.
More jumping and general craziness.
