Hot Balloons


We took the boys to a the balloon glow at the Balloon Classic last night. We were hoping this year would go better than last year. Last year they couldn't inflate the balloons because of lightening so they just lit the "candles". Tyler did not like this at all and kept saying "bye bye hot". Today he was excited all day long and couldn't wait to go see the "hot balloons".
As we pulled into the parking lot Justin prepped him some, telling him it may be a little noisy but it isn't scary. That was a mistake. Immediately Tyler told us he didn't want to see the balloons. After we put him in the stroller and saw them light up from the parking lot he was fine again. The boys really liked seeing all the balloons, especially the Noah's Ark one. Carter found one with stars on it right away and Tyler found another one with a horse. Tyler would help the rest of the crowd count down to when they would light them up and Carter clapped and yelled "yay" every time. We then headed over to the kids zone where they had a bunch of inflatables. But we both thought it was overpriced for something that most likely our boys would go in and then quickly come out of. So we walked around some more and headed back to the car where Tyler informed me that it wasn't that noisy. Glad you agreed. Amazingly the boys stayed awake all the way home - here they are in their carseats sitting the same way
