Up, Up, Up and Away!

September and it was starting to get cool in the mornings finally! So bright and early, before the sun had even gotten up, mommy, gramps, grandma, uncle Brandon and Julie all met up at the local Balloon Festival. Mommy was pretty excited, and I guess so was grandma 'cause she brought tons of yummy snacks too! We got a really good and up close spot to watch all the balloons fill with air and then lift off. There were so many balloons! I couldn't believe my eyes. All different shapes and sizes. Some of them were even characters!

Like this pirate! "Ahoy mate, there she blows, oh wait there I blow" ;)

Can you believe there was a tree? Look at how big it is, there are birds on it and everything! Mommy said that since there was non wind, some of the big balloons like the tree, would stay tied to the ground since there wasn't enough air to get them off the ground. That was kind of disappointing but at least that meant I got a really good look at them all morning long.

Can you see the daisy?

A few of the regular balloons got some air but most of them came down pretty quickly.

While we were watching all the balloons fill up with air, and boy are they noisy, a very nice man saw grandma, mommy and I standing by the fence and asked if we wanted to come see the balloon close up. We were very excited. I got to touch on blowing up, I was a little preoccupied to take any pictures those. Geesh mom do you have to take a picture of everything?


We had a great morning seeing all the balloons and people. But I sure was tired and ready to take a nap when we got home. I can't wait for next year's festival!
