Up, up and away ...

We kicked off our 'holiday' weekend by getting up at 6:30AM this morning. I don't know how some people do it ... I was dragging. Maybe it had something to do with going to bed at 12:30AM?

Anyway, we got up early to take a quick trip downtown to watch the 'Spirit of Boise' balloon festival before E had to be at school.

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that this event has returned after three years of not running. I have such fond memories of my early morning commute into downtown during the days of 'River Festival' and seeing the balloons dot the sky.

It was a beautiful morning.

Our view as we crossed the foot bridge into the park ...

























Can you guess which one was E's favorite ?
I'll give you a hint ... "We're going on a trip on our favorite rocket ship ... "

In the park ...













Seriously, how can a scene like this not make you smile?















































Yep, a great way to start our Friday and our LONG weekend together!

I was also so happy to see it return! I think we're going to try to go Sunday before church! I didn't even think about going before school!

And I get up at 5:30 not 6:30. 6:30 is sleeping in :)

So happy to see you went!! And Friday morning looked perfect - wish I could've been there instead of at work :) Maybe next year I will plan a morning off and go - or get Dad up early and go Saturday morning. Hope the rest of your week-end is as great as your start to it!
