Today we went to the Walla Walla hot air balloon festival. It was a beautiful day to start. The kids went on lots of bounce houses, part of the kid zone. Jacob went on a mini-hot air balloon ride. He rode in a little seat up in the air and then it dropped it down. He thought it was fun. Jack tried but the guy running the ride freaked him out so he wouldn't go on it.
The best part of the day was the actual hot air balloons. We watched one get rolled out and blown up. The boys and I went closer to investigate and ended up getting a number to get a free ride, well a tethered up and down ride. The coolest part was when the balloon was being blown up the pilot invited all the kids to take their shoes off and go inside the balloon! That was so neat. The balloon was a rainbow color, it was so bright in there. Just like being inside a gaint bounce house. The boys were smiling and running around inside the balloon!
When it came to the ride Jacob was the only one that went up. The burner was too loud for Jack. Jacob stood in the basket with his hands over his ears the whole time. He didn't smile once. I am not sure if it was all that fun for him, oh well.
On the way out Uppa and Umma bought each of the boys a toy. Jack picked out a blinking sword and Jacob picked out a tiny hamster that moves. I think the little toys were the best part of the day for them.
Amelia of course just went with the flow, being passed around as we went. Her favorite packer was of course Uppa.
