Colorado Springs Balloon Classic 2010

On our Saturday morning drive to Grandma's house we saw loads of hot air balloons, floating serenely through the blue sky. Is this enough to peak a 2.5 year old's curiosity? Yes, but not enough to satisfy it. "See em bigger Mommy, PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!" Who can say no to that? (I'm sure a lot of people can, I am not one of them)
Sunday morning we were able to drag everyone except Daddy out of their nice warm beds to head over to Memorial Park (we parked on Foote, one of the minor details that stays locked in Ethan's brain) to watch the balloons fill up and then lift off.





That night, bringing Daddy this time (and again parking on Foote), we met a few friends for the balloon glow. Just as exciting as the lift off-and we got to try our first turkey leg (a favorite at the fairs out here)
