Balloon Glow

We went to the annual hot air balloon festival over Labor Day weekend.  Someday maybe we'll get up early enough to see the balloons take off in the morning, but we still had fun at the balloon glow on Saturday night.

First, we walked around and looked at everything.  Logan was very excited to use a port-a-potty, and to look at the VW vehicles.  That kid loves cars!  Now he keeps asking me if different cars have their engines in the back!

We packed snacks to eliminate anyone wishing for something from a booth.  Here's Annie enjoying her sandwich and the stroller.

Waiting for the balloons to start filling. 


We were waiting by the energizer bunny, and someone was handing out these fun ears.  We also had free glo-sticks for the kids.  A kind lady gave them to us earlier.  I think someone has given our children free glo-sticks/ necklaces everytime we've gone to a balloon glow or a fireworks show, and it totally thrills them!  Someday, I'm going to take a bunch of glo-sticks to one of these events and give them to families with small children.

Logan didn't want to wear his, so I wore them.

Jim didn't want to get bored waiting.

Alex enjoyed his stroller ride!  He is such a good sport about everything!

The kids were fascinated once the balloons started filling up.

Time for the pictures...Jim took dozens, and I took a few.  I'm only posting some of them.
