Labor Day Weekend


Friday night: Elijah played catch with Daddy while we waited for everyone to arrive at the inn. 



Saturday morning: We watched balloons fly in from the west.



They took off over the trees.



Saturday day: Elijah went for a trip around the farm. He saw the goats, climbed the hay bales, and inspected the tractors. He kept wanting to go outside the whole weekend.



Saturday evening: The shades didn't stay on for very long, but we did get him to stay in the shade or wear a hat for most of the night. He really enjoyed seeing 'hotairballoons' in the sky.



Here are some balloons taking off. We had a good flight!



For the glow, we took Elijah out on the field by all the balloons. He got a few trading cards while we waited for it to get nice and dark. Elijah didn't like the loud propane noises, but he enjoyed the flashing balloons.



No Sunday morning: rain

Sunday evening: It was very windy, but a few balloons flew for us. They were going fast! My hair is so long here, and I can only hold Elijah for a few minutes at a time. Just a couple more months until baby girl is here.



The balloons had a hard time getting up straight before flying out. I hope they all landed alright.



I love the shadowy look of the balloons between the glowing.



Monday morning: We had to wear jackets because it was a little chilly outside. 



Here's everyone set up in front of Grandma's car. Elijah started yelling 'green beans' and everyone thought it was hilarious!



You can see the baggie dropping down in this picture. My parents taught Elijah about the balloonists throwing the baggie onto the target.
