Balloon Races 2011

Another year of waking up with the Balloons! We love the Great Reno Balloon Races and since we live just a block from the races we get to share in the excitement for FOUR days - we are happy to get some sleep when they are done since events start at 5am! Brock was so into the balloons this year and woke up ON HIS OWN each morning at about 5:30 requesting to go to the glow show. Then Theo was a hoot this year. He had constant commentary on the balloons, "wow, wook at dat balloon mommy", "that one is falling over, mommy", "I wanna see star wurs' and on, and on. The BIG hit this year was the Darth Vader balloon accompanied by a few storm troopers. Um, can you imagine anything more awesome for two little Star Wars fans...no, not even possible. Brock got to go up in a balloon with his preschool class, also very cool. And we held our annual Balloon race party in the front yard - I think we set a new record this year with about 30 people! Fun times!





Brock's balloon ride and preschool class. He held his friend Penelope's hand almost the whole day - pretty cute.





If you look close you can see Brock's little hand waving out of the basket.
