Hot Air Balloons 2011

In September we headed back to reno to visit friends and to watch the hot air balloon races again. 

The kids did really well for having to be woken up at 4:30 in the morning to go and see the light show.

I think keisha enjoyed the show the most. They play music while they light them and she was dancing and clapping the whole time.

Waiting for the planes to fly overhead.

Keisha made it until about 8 before she decided she was just to tired.

within minutes she was out like a light.

The kids getting up close and seeing what a hot air balloon feels like.

We waited all morning for the butterfly balloon to appear after adahleigh had found it looking in the book that listed all the balloons. We thought we would get to see it fly but they were using it to give kids rides which only took them a few feet off the ground before floating back down. Maybe when the kids are older and are tall enough to look out of the basket we will give them a ride.
