Balloon Glow

Last night we ventured over to Bowman Field for their Balloon glow. Since I'm germaphobic about getting Ethan out in indoor places I'm always looking for outdoor things we can all do. Braden absolutely loves when he sees hot air balloons so we thought it would be fun for him. After parking literally 1 mile from the balloons, we finally got close to them to see them pulling them down. The announcer stated that heavy rain was coming so they were putting them away early. The good thing was, we still got to see one balloon up close (very up close), ate a yummy funnel cake, enjoyed the fireworks and made it back to the car just when the rain was
starting. It was a close one. :)

Poor Papa T ended up carrying one of them or both most of the time.

They got to stand in the basket while the guy shot the fire up. Chris said it was so hot he thought his hair was on fire!

Yes, Ethan and I were there too. He was snuggled up in my wrap and slept the whole time. I'm thinking the wrap was a good purchase. :)
