Plano Balloon Festival


We went to the Plano Balloon Festival last weekend.  The weather was gorgeous and I was hoping we would get to see the balloons launch.  


We hung out on the side of a hill for a while before they announced that it was too windy.


We grabbed some hot dogs and waited for the balloon glow.  Note the lovely shade of brown the grass has turned ... we are about to enter Stage 3 water restrictions.


The boys made the best of it and marched up and down the hill and threw pine cones.



They finally brought some balloons out and the wind was practically blowing them over sideways.


It didn't look like many more balloons were coming out so I got out-voted by the boys and we left before the glow.


Oh!  Let's not forget the bus ride.  That was literally their favorite part.  I didn't realize how much fun public transportation was!


We headed over to Ian and Roya's and gathered in their front yard for the fireworks.



What a great view!


The bounce house was a huge hit!  Sam bounced for hours and was completely exhausted by the time we got them in bed way, way past their bed time.
