Lincoln Balloon Fest was here this past weekend. We went Friday evening to see the balloon launch and glow, but because of the wind the balloons packed up early and there wasn't a glow. We went last year as well, but since Kyleah's a little older now she noticed the balloons for the first time. (And I think even said "balloon") We met up with Corey's mom and grandma and went to Lincoln to meet his sister and her husband and Bradyn. They had picked up din
ner and we all had a picnic and watched some of the balloons float into the distance. We had a lot of fun, we hadn't got to visit with everyone together for awhile. Since the show was cut short, we met back at his moms and hung out for a little bit there. Saturday, we went back to get a closer view of the balloons and met up with my mom and dad. When we first got there, we watched wrestling and I can't believe how much Kyleah loved it! She was clapping her hands and yelling words that I still don't understand. Not very many balloons launched that time, it wa
s so breezy! When launching, the balloons would lose shape and the baskets were swinging every which way, they were having a hard time getting them to fly. Finally the wind died down and they did the glow. Corey, Kyleah, and I all enjoyed a plate of ribbon potatoes and a hot dog and corn dog! hmm! It was cold out and we were all nestled under blankets, except Corey, who was off taking pictures and actually got to stand inside of one of the balloons! The parking lot was a disaster at the airport, it took some an hour just to get out, luckily it wasn't but 20 minutes for us!
