The Annual Spiedies Fest was this weekend in our area. It celebrates a local food that originated here. It also has a Balloon Rally twice a day for the weekend. We love this part. We have gone to the Saturday morning lift for the last three years and look forward to it. It is amazing to be right up close to the sights and sounds of these huge balloons. The first year we went, I was little shocked that you could basically walk up and touch them, let alone stand right near the baskets as they flew up. I thought it was kind of a safety hazard, but once I got used to the noises and the heat it was really fun. This year was no different. We woke up at 5:00 and got to the grounds by 6:00. We had to walk a good distance! Unfortunately this year it was foggy, so we sat around for a couple of hours before anything really happened. Then the fun started.
Cian yawning from waking up so early. 5:00 used to be his normal time.....now it is 7:00. Yeah for me!
Eyes to the sky!
I love this picture for some reason. It might be that Cian has such a big smile with Daddy right behind him!
Kevin has gotten us here every year since we moved to the area. I am so glad he is so active in finding fun things to do with us!
Kyle and Nicole came with us too! It was fun to share the experience with them.Cian and I are keeping busy too. I can't believe that we have five weeks off and Kevin can't use any of his vacation time (his work has some crazy deadlines this summer. ) Cian and I are trying to make the most of it. We do a lot of play dates, trips to the park and crafts galore. I told Cian that we are going to start doing 15 minutes of "school" a day too, starting this week. We will see how this turns out. He and I kind of butt heads in this area.
Dear Cian,
I know you would rather be playing, but meet me half way here! I am not asking you to do things that are too hard for you. I am just trying to solidify your skills. Fifteen minutes out of the whole day will fly by fast. All I ask is that you try. I love you sugar lump!
Love,
Mommy
