GTBR!

This weekend is the Balloon Races! We LOVE the balloon races . . . okay, we honestly don't get up early enough to see the actual races, but we love the fair-like atmosphere and the balloon glow at night! Daddy lion really love the food and Little Lion loves the kids play land (a bunch of different inflatables and a couple of kiddie pools filled with sand to dig in).

Le Tourneau had one of their Cessna planes at the entrance. We knew the flight instructor that was there and he let the kids jump in the cockpit. Little Lion loved playing with the controls and Little Pumpkin just loved being in it!


FOOD! If we've learned anything about Little Pumpkin . . .

food is the way to happiness! *wink*

Cheetah on the other hand does NOT like pictures! *smile*

He doesn't know I'm using this one, so I gotta post quick! *wink*

Loving the food!

And how else do you enjoy being in 100 degree heat than having a sno cone!

YUMMY!

Good thing he had on a red shirt! *wink*

But the best part? We get to do it all again Saturday night! *SMILE* I'm taking my camera tonight, so I hope to get some good pics of the actual glow and maybe even some video!

    I am so sad that we are missing the balloon activities and my mom-in-law had special tickets for us:( We just can't do a 5hr. drive again so soon. Your little pumpkin reminds me soooo much of my Mary Kate it is unreal! I told Jaime R. this recently. I miss you awesome Longview folks!!

    The balloon festival looks very fun. I remember pictures from a few years ago and it seems like quite the event. Have fun and I look forward to pictures

    I'm sad we are missing it! We almost braved taking 5 kids out to the airport at 9pm in 100 deg heat...then thought better of it!Fabe is not awake and has to leave here in 30 minutes to go back to work...so we'll be in again tonight. I'm really ok with a quiet house! It's been a busy busy week:) Miss ya!
