We sure do love our International Balloon Fiesta. It really never gets old. I know I say that every year, but it's still true, so I'm still saying it. It's simply awesome! My boys love it too. You'd think they'd get used to it, but they still excitedly point out balloons floating overhead as we drive to school.
This year, we drove around the first weekend, following them around a bit from our car, then parked and watched a few come down around us. A fun new favorite or our family's was the Hummingbird Balloon (see pic). The following week, we had planned to hit the Thursday morning Mass Ascension, but it was too windy and they cancelled, so we headed out of town to Pagosa instead. We were just glad we'd chased them a bit that first Saturday.
A fun addition to this year's fiesta was the addition of balloons all around the house, and I'm not talking about the kind you blow up. Ash and Beck both put crayons to paper and created their own Mass Ascensions featuring some of their favorite balloons. We also had a balloon park constructed of Legos gracing their bedroom floor for a few days, complete with several Lego balloons. Balloons, balloons...everywhere you looked. It was so much fun to see the imaginative things they were coming up with!
We heart hot air balloons, always:)
