I have always loved seeing Hot Air Balloons and I have always wanted to see them take off. So when I found out that at this festival they were going to be launching them I was really excited. So this Morning we woke up REALLY early(5:30, and we are NOT morning people!) and drove out to Avimor(a new housing development outside of Eagle) where the festival was being held. We got to be up close as they blew up the balloons and attached them to the baskets and then we got to see them take off. It was a really fun! After they launched them they let you take a tethered balloon ride. So we stood in line for that and when our turn came Rainy got scared! When the flame goes off it is LOUD!So Josh and I got to go up and wave to Rainy from the air. One of the friendly Balloon lady workers held Rainy for us. It was fun! Someday though I would love to take a ride un-tethered, but for free it was definitely great!
We also went to the farmers market there and got stickers from a clown or two.Rainy loved jumping in the bounce house and I enjoyed a free krispy Kreme doughnut. We had a great day together.

You made it! That looks like so much fun! And a free thethered balloon ride...that is awesome!
Thanks for coming over. We loved chatting with you guys and Gunnar had a blast with Rainy.
That looks like so much fun! how cool, I think that the clowns might have scared addi along with the loud balloon! oh, and thanks for the sweet birthday note, don't worry, my mind is mush too, I am the worst at remembering things! I am getting sad to move, we have some good friends here that we don't even get to spend time with- then we move! bummer. we'll get together in may before we move after graduation!
