Walking back to the car after a long day.

We picked about 35 pounds of apples and pear. I would say at was a great day. Long but great this was after the balloons and a little nap. The girls were very good with being up all day. I think this is a once of year thing we will do as a family. When we get home Eli and I get right to work on making apple sauce. It was so good.

Balloon Classic

Kirra all smiles sooooo early in the morning.

Samantha too.

Eli just trying to stay awake with a big smile.

Both of us staying close to try and stay warm.

Kirra was so cold she wanted me to hold her to keep her warm.

Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Chelsea and Samantha watching something. I can not remember what.

Watching the balloons going up was cool. Samantha and Kirra where just looking around, pointing and saying "look".

We sat in the path of the balloon ran so we get to watch them go right over us. That was really cool. They would wave as they want over. Kirra would wave back to them.

Watching the balloon go over.Eli thought that my dad need a golf cart that looked like this. I thought so also. It was pretty cool looking.

We all had so much fun at the Balloon Classic. But we all where so tried after it. It was a long morning. We get up at 4:30 and where out of the house by 5:00 am. The balloons did not start going up till the sun was up watch was about 7:00. We sat there and people watched for a long time. I think this is something we would do again but we would sleep in a little bit longer.I hope the you all enjoy the pictures it was hard to pick them. Eli and I took about 80 or so pictures of the balloons.

Aunttie Beth

The girls are also ways so happy to Aunt Beth on Sunday's. They run up and jump on her to give her a big hug. This is that moment when they notice her at Nona and Papa's house.

Kayla's balloons going up to her. We release them with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA scream. We all where a little worried they would not make them over the trees but they did. I think Kayla had a little to do with that.
