The Great Reno Balloon Race

Ok I know this was like two weeks ago, but I'm a little slow. All of us got up early on the day the balloon races were here and went down to the park to be amid the craziness. Really really cool craziness. The balloon races are one of my favorite things, I just think its so amazing and incredible that there are like 100 hot air balloon in the sky at the same time in the same place!!! Here are some pictures.

This is Alaina getting ready to go:) She still looks slightly out of it.


I think this is a really cool picture of the eagle balloon. It went up with a flag during the national anthem. Its pretty with the sunrise in the background.

Braelyn chillin in the backpack, she didnt want to be in it for long, she is afterall, Braelyn.

She wasnt so happy about being woken up. She was a little grumpy. Shes just like her Mommy!

Some of the balloons being blown up.

Alaina liked the balloons alot too, Im glad Im not the only one!

Theyre getting bigger!

Soon some were up and we were right below them. It was kinda cool to see them from this view.


Pathetic self portrait.

We could get a better shot as we walked out of the park of all the balloons together. Its so cool!

Seriously amazing.

Thats a lot of balloons.

We had fun. We went home and Braelyn and I went to sleep for the rest of the morning. Alaina took a good nap later too. We didnt have to get up that much earlier than the girls normally get up and it was worth it.

Congrats on numero tres! That is way exciting. But, I wouldn't consider your cute little girls as strikes, so I think you'll be ok. When in April are you due. We are looking at the 8th-ish.
I miss the balloon races. We were thinking of maybe coming up next year for them. They were so much fun, especially dawn patrol...except for that whole dawn thing:)
