Saturday evening we all bundled up and headed out to the track for the balloon festival. It has been gorgeous leading up to the event but a cold front came through and not only was it super cold the wind was blowing like crazy! We had fun anyways :) Tony and Riley had a blast playing on the Plaza and dancing to the Gin Blossoms. I wanted to get a picture of Tony kissing the bricks and Riley got down there with him and kissed the bricks too! Unfortunately because of all the wind they didn't get to do the "balloon" glow, but instead they did a "candlestick" glow. They all shot the flames in the air like a normal balloon glow just didn't have the balloons attached. It was pretty cool!! The heat from the flames warmed us up a bit too! Since they were only doing the candlestick glow they were letting people get in the baskets and pull the flame blower. Tony thought it was one of the coolest things ever! After the candlestick glow they shot off some awesome fireworks! I was a little worried about Riley but she was in awe. I love doing things like this with the kids, just something different they get to experience that Ron and I can give them. Tony told us, he sure was a lucky kid and can't believe all the cool things he gets to do. Talk about a GREAT feeling :)
