Balloon Races

Every year we want to go to the balloon races, but for some reason, we just hadn't made it yet. This year was the year! My mom was in town to hang out for the weekend, so we got up pretty early (not dawn patrol early, but early) and headed up to the "N" to watch the balloons go up. We just parked up on the hill and watched them rise. It was *so* much fun. We picked a good day to go, too, because they came right over us and some landed right near us. Liam and Wes were able to go right up to one and talk to the people and Liam could see the fire. My Uncle Larry lives up there and we went to his neighborhood and one landed right next to his house on the street. Again, we had a great time. It was relaxing and fun to watch. So glad we made it- plus we got some awesome photos!
