Balloon Races

There's just something about kids and balloons. And it doesn't matter what size the balloon is either. This morning on our way to work and daycare, Taydem and I saw a few balloons in the sky and I had to quickly point them out to her. She got all excited and started yelling ,"Boon, Boon!"

I saw where one was about to land and drove like a wild woman to get over to it before it landed so Taydem could get a closer look. There were already about 20 cars pulled over watching the action. This weekend is the Great Texas Balloon Race at the Longview airport. I've been going to this since I was little little! My parents live right down the road from the airport (literally) and they have always received complimentary passes to get in. BUT, Leven and Trever have never been and they've been picking on me all week about it. They will love it, just wait and see! Tonight and tomorrow night they will have the balloon glow (all the 60 something balloons spread out on the ground and when it's dark they start blowing their fire and lighting up the balloons. You can walk right down in the middle of all of them!), lots of good food and crafts, and loads of entertainment. This year singing is Charlie Robinson, Kevin Sharp and Kasey Musgraves.

Tomorrow at 3 Trever is playing in his first State tournament with his All-Stars team. If they win state, Nationals will be held in South Carolina. Wish them luck and have a wonderful weekend!
