Anti-Balloons Festival.

(The beautiful morning excitement for some Hot-air Balloons)

Our Morning:

4:30 am- Wake up & shower
5:00 am- Get Lil Miss ready
5:15 am- Leave the house
6:30 am- Realize we were lost (Suppose to be at the Midway airport)
6:50 am- Finally got to the Airport for the festival
6:55 am- See the trucks with the balloon baskets driving past us (must be setting up)
7:00 am- Not too many cars and parking FREE (suppose to be $10, score!)
7:10 am- Lay down the blankets, check on Lil Miss (still sleeping)
7:15 am- Lyn goes to the Freebirds vendor to get us breakfast burritos
7:20 am- Man comes on the Loud speaker...

"Some of you might have seen the balloon trucks passing you as you came in,
USUALLY this is a GOOD sign which means they are going to set up to launch.
BUT, this time it means they are driving back to their hotels.
Sorry for the inconvenience but due to strong winds the balloon show is canceled".

(The empty sky where there should be balloons)

7:22 am- The crowd leaves and Lil Miss wakes up

7:25 am- Lyn comes back with the burritos... "do we have to move, where did everyone go"?

Me: "Everyone left. They canceled it because of the wind".
(Note: There was a VERY slight wind)
She had missed the announcement.

(These burritos are so yummy. Equivalent to Chipotle or BETTER. Yep, it's true)
So we sat on our blanket, eating our burritos, and
enjoying the sun trying to peek through the clouds.

(Our blanket and an empty stage)

8:00 am- we left the empty airport/field
9:15 am- Return home
9:16 am- Lyn takes a nap
9:17 am- Try to "nap" but realize Avery is up for the day.
9:19 am- Avery and I go on a walk to Thomas and Sonia's house around the corner.

Our day begins.
***
No nap ALL day long.
When noon rolled around it felt like it should have been FIVE already.
Needless to say a VERY long day, but the weather was pleasant with a slight wind.
