Balloon Race!!!

Christian & Camden's first ferris wheel ride    <---click for video


We had a great time at the balloon race.  There was not an airshow, I guess because of the wind.  However, it was nice and cool (well, coolER), because of that wind!  When we walked up to the gate to buy tickets, a lady gave us FREE ONES and asked us to help a handicapped person in the future (pay it forward!)  Nice people DO still exist!!  The kids were SO excited that Popo went with us, too!

This wagon was the best thing we've ever taken anywhere with us...

Christian's top concern was finding the train to ride.  HE REMEMBERED riding a train last year at the balloon races!

First ferris wheel ride!! They were both totally silent during it- I'm thinking they were trying to figure out whether to be scared or not!  However, they said they liked it!

Then Christian did, too!  They were both grabbing as much as they could before the other could get it..

This ballon was SOOOO BIG!  It took probably 20+ minutes for it to air up!
