Balloon Launch - Again

This morning we got up bright and early to go to the Balloon Launch with Mister's family. Except it wasn't very bright when we got up. We trudged down to the location all the while, I'm counting down the minutes until I can have a nap! For some reason I wasn't as awake as I was on Saturday. But the kids were!

Lewlew on Papa's lap taking pictures.

Noodle taking her share of pictures.


And of course Buddy making good use of his camera.


Mister did get this picture of Buddy and his cousin and someone from Star Wars.



He also took this one.



Because of the weather, the balloons didn't get to launch. But they were all supposed to inflate. About 5 of them were inflated with 3 or 4 in the process, when a gust of wind came up and blew the inflated balloons over. It was hectic for a few moments while the pit crews of the inflated balloons ran around yelling, "Get back! Get back!" as the balloons came crashing down. After that, they rolled up the balloons and put them away. So we went out for breakfast.

Then we came home, had a nap and went over to Mister's mom's. It's her birthday today. There isn't a better holiday to have a birthday on than on the 4th of July. She opened presents. Then Lewlew and I came home to get some stuff for "Carterville On Fire." Mister took Noodle with him to Carterville on Fire and Buddy stayed to ride down with his cousins.
