Last Friday we got an evening of relief from the ever present heat that has engulfed our summer. We took advantage and took a picnic to the park where the balloon glow/lift off was supposed to happen at 5:30 PM...
We enjoyed KFC as balloons and people arrived.
We waited with eager anticipation...
We played with the wagon, ate homemade ice cream from a local vendor, we played, enjoyed the breeze and waited.
We watched the little caution rope and flags and waited.
We pretended we were a giraffe...(Parker's giraffe face)..and waited
We pretended we were a hippo...(Parker's hippo face)...and waited
Finally at 7PM we decided it must be too windy for the balloons to be blown up and headed for home.
Parker was bummed at first, but then on Saturday morning Travis and Parker got to go Balloon Chasing! We saw several balloons flying out our front window so the big boys took off in the RAV and followed them through the corn fields and bean fields. Trav said they wouldn't be able to see anything because of the corn, they would turn a corner and *poof* there would be several. This would send Parker squealing in delight. Maybe next year we will get to see the balloons launch, or the boys will be old enough/up late enough to go back to the balloon glow at dusk!
