After school today we piled the boys in the car and
drove up to Statesville for the North Carolina Balloon Festival.
We met our friends up there and within minutes of getting our picnic settled
the balloons started to inflate.
Before we knew it the sky was filling up with the a rainbow of colors
and the kids were cheering!
This balloon we so close to us that when the wind blew the right way,
we could almost reach out and touch it.
(oh, and notice Patrick enjoying his first corn-dog)
Later in the evening, we got to walk down to the balloons and get in some of the baskets. Patrick watched cautiously on the sidelines, while Finnegan got into 2 and even Sully joined in for one.
It was a beautiful evening and so much fun.
We hope to make this a new annual family tradition.
What a beautiful new family picture. I love the color you chose. I had friends that went to the balloon festival as well. I think next year we'll make a trip with my grandson. He'd enjoy seeing all the awesome balloons.
