High Fliers...

Our neighborhood hosted a "Balloon Bash" this weekend.  It was neighborhood block party and a fundraiser for Best Buddies (a special needs club at the high school).

The Balloon Bash consisted of a balloon artist, face painter, a DJ, Kona Ice, and a ride in this amazing thing...

The girls were super excited to take a tethered ride in the balloon.  We waited in line for a LONG time - but it was all worth it!

The balloon pilot said it was a "windy day" which in the balloon world it might have been.  But it certainly was not windy by the average person's standards.  Because of the "wind," we could only go up about 50 feet.  Instead of going up and staying still in the air, the balloon rocked back and forth a bit!  This was because of the wind - I guess the pilot knows what he is talking about after all!

We had a great time at the bash - the girls are looking forward to a repeat again next year!
