hot air balloon festival (part 1)

the past week has been a hard one. but we got a nice break last night when we learned that the 10th annual hot air balloon festival was going on.

you may think that all we do is go to carnivals and play. it's not all we do actually. but this was just 2 miles from our house and something i had googled before we moved here as attractions in the city. so last night we went with some neighbors to go check it out.there were large blow up slides.
cool things to ride.

it's a sucker....

I'm so glad you posted Nat! I have been checking your blog every morning and night hoping for updates and pictures...thanks for sharing. You write so beautifully and I am often inspired by your ability to convey meaningful and relational narratives. Missing you all and hoping this week is better than the last. Your children are beautiful and clearly well loved.

Looks so fun! Much needed, I'm sure. I'm just wondering...can you believe we'll be there THIS week? I can't! Only thing missing will be Mr. Miller. Next time.
