Up, Up, and Away

Hanna's not too sure... while Joel is up there touching the thing!

Last night, we went to the hot air balloon "Night Glow" at the State Fairgrounds. This is an event the night before the opening of the state fair during which balloons air up at dusk and throw flame into them in different patterns together when it becomes dark. It's neat because the whole infield is full of balloons and you just wander around them and can get in the baskets, etc... Joel LOVES it when the balloons go over our house, so this was a real treat for him. Unfortunately, I was a goober and didn't have xtra batteries for the camera when they died, so I only got a few pics. Of course, Joel begged us to go back today for the hot air balloon race, but it was at 7:00am. Ha, ha, ha......
