Last night we took the kids and Megan to the Indianola Balloon Festival. Every year for two weeks they launch 70ish hot air balloons every night and there is a carnival with inflatables, food and a good fun family good time.
We picked up mom and met Chelsey and Spencer there. I didn't realize we got there so early - as the last time we went we sat in traffic for hours! After we were scolded for trying to sneak our picnic lunch in...we found a good secluded spot on the grass and set up our chairs and blankets. I took the kids to the inflatables and laughed hysterically watching Kenna and Megan race in the elastic run then beat the crap out of eachother with the giant gladiator mallets. Zachey went down a slide and did an obstacle course then ended with the little train. Grayson tried a bouncy house - was LESS of a fan of the obstacle course, but definitely LOVED the train!
Once the balloons all started going the kids were definitely ooohing and ahhhhing over them. Was really a beautiful night. The only scary part was when one of the balloons hit a power line! It was a little windy and I think everyone was okay...but jeez!
