BallOOns!

Have you ever been up in a hot air balloon?

I HAVE!!! Ok well it was still tied to the ground by we did go up just a little ways. I think it would so cool, yet scary at the same time to rely on that little woven basket to keep you from falling down to the ground. But no matter what the risk factor is with flying a hot air balloon, they always are decorated with lots of colors, shapes, and designs. I think that's the neatest thing.

A couple weeks ago we went out to Brighton to watch their Hot Air Balloon Festival. We went a couple years ago and it was really neat to watch, for the 10 mins they were up. But then you can go chase them and watch all the balloons fall in the neighborhood yards and streets, which is really quite interesting to see. This year we opted out, but we did enjoy watching all the many balloons that were there. We had a beautiful day for it and great company as well!!!

Look at all those balloons...







Maddox was pooped... (he slept most of the next day!)



Mac was a huge fan of the balloons! (He also slept most of the next WEEK! He's got a couple years on Maddox)



This one was by far my favorite... how cool!



We had a great time...
