Balloon Fiesta Festival

If you are ever planning on visiting New Mexico I highly recommend coming out for Balloon Fiesta Week. Its an international thing so people from all over the world are there. I have way too many pictures so I will just let you judge but the pictures. I forced the camera to work even though its not great quality you get the gist.

They had refs who would blow whistles at us
to get out of the way so they could take off

My Favorite ones.
These two always flew together and took off together,
they are holding hands.The first one we got close to to take off

Eva didn't have fun but she wasn't crying in this picture

Just walking around enjoying the fun

This was Daniel's Favorite
he just couldn't believe they were able
to get that huge thing in the sky

The look on Alexander's face when he felt we got too close

Looking at Balloons

Alexander's first favorite balloon

Alexander's second favorite.
He also loved the football shaped one and soccer ball shaped one

(he was HUGE)

All those little specs in the sky are balloons. We got there for the first mass acsension and then there was another one when we were leaving. There were SOOO many balloons which made it really fun. They were all waiting in line and touching each other.

Some of the sky

Lots of balloons

Balloon Chasing, yes it landing on a random street

Tomorrow!!!

It has been balloon fiesta week here. That means hundreds of hot air balloons are taking off each morning and because of the weather getting in accidents. We haven't gone to balloon fiesta park yet to see a morning mass dissension but we are going tomorrow! Yay I am so excited this is the one thing everyone talks about for New Mexico so I can't wait. Daniel got tickets from work so we are going to wake up at 430am and go see the hundreds of balloons all go into the sky at once. This is one of those things that I really wish I had a better camera for but oh well I will force it to work for a few pictures.

I went to LOWES the other day and there were still a few balloons out so I took some pictures (bad ones) with the children.

I kept trying to get them in the pictures with the balloons but they just kept running away. There are some far away balloons in these pictures.

(Look at Eva's hair! 17 months and its already out of control.)
