Way back on July 31st (so an entire month before Cordy joined our family) we decided at the last minute to go to an awesome balloon festival with some good friends.
Since we had never been we didn't realize how bad the traffic would be so we actually saw most of the balloons go off from the parking lot. In some ways though it may have been better because we got to watch the balloons come up and fly over head together, decorating the sky with brightly colored hues. 
The kids were absolutely in awe. (Check out that monster belly... I'm soooo glad she's not in there anymore.)
Once we got inside we watched the remaining few balloons launch. It was really neat to see them fill up with air before lifting up into the evening sky.
Since we didn't plan very well in our rush out the door we settled down and ate fair food for dinner... and the kids climbed all over Nick. Such a patient guy.
We let the kids ride on a few rides and then we settled in to watch the evening fireworks show.
The fireworks really were pretty amazing, especially considering it wasn't the 4th of July, but to be honest it was just as entertaining to watch the kids reactions as it was to see the explosions in the night sky.
Thanks Chase, Austin, and Kelly for joining us for the evening. We had a blast!

Thanks for inviting us! We had so much fun.
I'm so glad they got to see the balloons launch, since the weather didn't cooperate on July 4th.
