balloon race

We took the kids on Saturday to the Forest Park Balloon Race and it was a perfect day to be outside. Austin loves hot air balloons and I think he was a little shocked to see so many in one place. It was a bit of a challenge getting down there and finding a place to park but we finally did and got there just in time for all the balloons to blow up and take off. Austin is so proud of his own blow up balloon he even asked me if he could take it to church with us this morning. It eats with him and watches little Einsteins with him and anything else he does he tries to do it with his balloon. Campbell enjoyed just being outside and watching all the people walk by. If you live here you should try and go next year, it's great!

Don't even tell me that was this weekend. We went every year when we were there - on Friday night for the Glow! Oh you make me jealous!

Julie and Jason,
LOVE the pictures:) I cannot believe how quickly Austin and Campbell are growing up....so wish we could be there to share these moments with you guys....you are in our thoughts often. Looks like an awesome balloon race!! Sarah and Luke totally agree with Austin....balloons are definitely the greatest thing ever invented!!
Love you all,
Kristen, David and the kids

i really wanted to go down there this year...we have never been. instead, i honored my husband and went to st. charles for the tour of missouri instead. it was pretty to cool to see the guy who won the tour de france, but i think the kids would have enjoyed the balloons more. your pics are great!
