After work - we both went over to the Fiesta park and saw the "Glowdeo". It's basically a chance to see all the balloons up close while they are on the ground. All the balloon are lit up and "glow". It was gorgeous.
It was also crazy shaped balloon day - meaning all the balloons were different shapes - not just the normal balloon shape.
There was a witch, a wagon, an eagle, bumble bees, chili peppers, the space shuttle, an elephant, a dragon, a frog, noah's arc, Jesus on a cloud, a turtle, crazy monsters, a cat, a penquin, a scarecrow, a pirate, and many many other amazing balloons. It was cool to see them getting inflated with the fire from the gas tanks.
There was also a lot of great food and we sampled frito pie, chicken fajitas, and mini cinnamon rolls. I really would have loved to get some Native American Fry bread - but the line was so long! Maybe next time.
After the balloons - they set off a wonderful fireworks show. It was a grand evening!

mmmmm frito pie. I think my favorite is the chile ristra, it's just so appropriate ya know? No matter how long you live here you never lose the wonder of looking at all the balloons floating up in the sky. Missed you on Tuesday!
Me with a pouty face:
I wish I could be there to see them.
Thanks for the set up for science class. I've been explaining to Frick & Frack the how's and why's of hot air balloons all morning.
