The boys and I took in the annual Findlay balloon festival again this year. Cameryn and Avery also came down to see the balloons. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any balloons in the air this year. Although it was beautiful, perfect weather, the balloons cannot take off if the ground wind speeds are greater than 10mph. I swear to you, I bet there were gusts of 12 mph or something because there would be no wind, then a few gusts and that was it. Oh well...We did our best to keep the kids entertained while we waited for the glow at dusk. They rode ponies, played frisbee, colored, ran around, had snow cones. Once it got dark out, they did glow some of the balloons, but it wasn't as coordinated as it had been in years past. A little disappointing, but what can you do? I also discovered that going on Saturday night vs Friday night, like I have in the past, has some major advantages. They have fireworks on Saturday after the glow, so most people stick around. If you want to leave right after the balloon glow, life is much better on Saturday than on Friday!
This was a major moment - Avery voluntarily came and sat in my lap. My first response - selfie! to document the occasion! The boys photobombed my selfie with Avery, though!
And 3.2 seconds later, she's done and outa here
