Hot Air Balloon Festival!

We used to go to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Reno and when we moved here to Albuquerque we learned that they have a festival also but it is huge! In Reno there was like 80 ballons and here there are like 800!  So of course we had to go experience it! It is a 10 event so every morning when we woke up we could see balloons everywhere! We would take drives to get a little closer. It was so amazing to see! Such an amazing site!  One of the weekends the Ortiz's came into town to see it! We woke up super early, loaded on a bus and went down to the Balloon Park. The only part the kids enjoyed was the bus ride! It was so so cold and Cutler was miserable and would only let me hold him so my back was killing me so I wasn't to thrilled either. When I told Cutler we could walk back to the bus that was the only thing that stopped him from crying!  So even though it was really cool to be so close to the balloons and watch them rise we will not be taking the kids next year! I would suggest finding a baby sitter and going with just adults! Most of the little kids down there were miserable! Lesson learned!  But we still enjoyed seeing all the balloons for those 10 days and cant wait until next year!

 

 

Found this cute little pic when I was getting the rest of these off my phone. This little girl loves her dogs! I looked outside and she was just sitting with them so cute!
