Chris had to work the other weekend, so the kids and I went down to Albuquerque to stay with my Grandma, and we went with my family to the hot air balloon fiesta!! This is a big deal in NM, and the most photographed event they say! And you'll see why if you've never been! We got up at 4:00 to leave by 5:30 to be there at the balloon field for the ascensions at 7am. Was well worth the effort, even though Carston refused to sleep in his pack n play until 12:30 and Cole then fell out of bed at 1:30, waking Carston up again. I was exhausted, but it sure was fun!

We had lots and lots of fun balloons to take pics of, so I'm not posting all of them, but just some of our favorites: |
 |
| Aunt Kim's favorite: Airabelle the cow--she is HUGE! |
 |
| The ladybug--one of Cole's fav's |
 |
| Bumblebee Family-momma, daddy, and baby |

Butterfly obviously
At night they have a "Balloon Glow" where they keep the balloons tethered down but lit up. Pretty cool. Here's a couple pics:
