So we have the balloon fiesta every year in October and the last two years we have gone at least twice where we haven't gotten to see the darn things get inflated. It's really an amazing sight to see so many balloons in the air (in the morning some 500+ balloons will go up.) And last night we thought, we'll try just one more time...the wind is just right for a balloon glow (100+ balloons stay on the ground inflated and light up at night simultaneously). We pull into the parking lot, the wind is calm and the balloons are up. We step off the bus and the wind picks up and the balloons start deflating. It was as if they canceled it because we came. So I hurried up and got my photo op with Hayden and Derrick and myself so we could actually say he had been here in his first year!

Another sad year of balloons... we had so much fun last year, even with no balloons. Maybe next year...
