So Friday morning a few weeks ago I was putting the dishes away and Jake was out on the deck and started yelling, Bawoon, Bawoon!!! So Jaxon went outside and yelled at me to come and looked. I walked outside (in my pajamas) and there were hot air balloons everywhere in our neighborhood. The kids kept watching them and telling me when they got close to the house. Finally I changed and we went out front to see how many more there were and there was one right above us. The boys as well as myself were pretty excited. I have always wanted to get in one of those. Well I saw one had landed at the church and it looked like this one was on its way too. We ran down the street with Connor in tow to watch. We didn't know we were going to be so lucky, but they let all the little kids get in and ride twenty or so feet over to land. The boys loved it. Well, Mari showed up with the girls and we went balloon chasing. The smiley face one was what we were after but we soon found another closer and they tethered the balloon and we all got to go on a ride up about 30 feet or so. Needless to say my funny dream has come true partially, thanks Mari for the picture taking and the good chasing!
Right over our house!
Getting ready to deflate the balloon
It was pretty loud in there when they pulled on the string!
I look like I am having more fun than the kids!
