Balloon Glow

Wes's cousins, Tyler and Erin, came into town Friday. We had lots of fun hanging out with them. The boys went coyote calling Saturday morning, and 4-wheeling in the afternoon, while us girls stayed home with the kids. Both of our kids LOVE Tyler and Erin...Hallie started crying when they had to leave Saturday night.

Last night we met up with some other cousins, Justin and Betty and their kids, at Grandpa's Grill. After some yummy food we headed over to our mall to go to a "balloon glow". We've had a hot air balloon show here in town the past couple of days, so we decided to take the kids to see them all lit up at night.

I was worried about how fun it would be, because it was pretty cold, but we all really liked it! There was around 20 balloons and they would light up every now and then, so they wouldn't fly away. Every few minutes the crowd would count down from 10 and all the balloons would light up at the same time. It was so cool! Hallie loved it and kept squealing and staring in awe.

We walked around to see all the different designs and we found one balloon that was letting little kids get in and pull the lever that lit up the balloon. Hallie got to do it a few times and had SO much fun. She loved it! (And I am still kicking myself for not having my camera with me). Hallie told me we could go back next time so I could take her picture. We definitely will!

We ended the night with ice cream at our house and some Wii. It was a great, fun night for all of us!
