Up, Up, and Away!!!

Colorado Springs is home to THE Balloon Festival and it is fabulous! We woke up super early to see them "lift off" and man the Liberty Tax booth...it was foggyish so no "lift off" but plenty of kids and balloons inflating to entertain!

5am and ready to roll!

"Momma, flashlight!" remembers Bubs...he knows when to use em!

This year there was a Noah's Ark that I thought they would love...alas what compares to Dad's donut stop and an inflatable jumping turn in the red castle to the right!

Always a family affair for the Ferguson Liberty Tax...no others bring their fams....so odd...and yet they probably think us odd!

Quite a sight!


Later that evening we went back for the balloon glow...after a serious nap!

They fire all the balloons up and they dazzle the eyes of all on the field...

Here is a glimpse....it is really fun!
Next year anyone!?

Well Little Jer pulled a zoo trip...that means he ate and ate and ate the whole time while Lu was freaked out early on by the giant pink Entergizer Bunny (I think it had more to do the creepy Dracula moon/cloud affect myself!)...."I don't like it Momma! I need to sit in your lap!" meanwhile little Jer says "more...hung-rey!" ha whatever! Pig boy!
