Balloon Fiesta 2010 Take 1...

We were lucky enough to get VIP parking, free tickets and dinner at the Balloon fiesta this year, thanks to Chris' job! So off we headed Saturday evening, Xander was VERY excited to see the "Ba - oons" aka balloons. I think he actually remembers them from last year, is that crazy?

Well it didn't exactly work out as planned, it was too windy and we never got to see any balloons. And the food tent was packed, not a place to sit. So we decided to skip it and got turkey legs, nachos and pretzels. This is the only picture I got, Xander eating nachos:

Even though we didn't see any balloons we had a great time chatting with Chris' wonderful boss and co-worker who came along with us. We all finished the night by treating ourselves to ice cream, cinnamon almonds, slushies and kettle corn. Everyone was stuffed and happy!

Note: I call this Balloon Fiesta 2010 Take 1, because mom and I are trying for Take 2 Thursday morning! It's the special shapes rodeo and we are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather, hopefully Xander can finally see some balloons fly!
