Balloon festival

Owen has always been entranced with hot air balloons so I thought it would be fun to go to the balloon festival. I had been a few times but Adam and the kids never had. We got all the kids up at 6:00 and headed down. Owen was excited and on the lookout for a train balloon.

Once he realized the balloons had fire he was officially freaked out and wouldn't let us put him down. It really was pretty cool to see them up close and to see so many in one place.




Alas, there was no train balloon but he seemed just as content with the Tony the Tiger and the piggy bank balloons.

We paid for it later with 4 very tired kids and 2 extremely tired parents but it was worth it.
