Early morning drive to the Kansas Speedway. It's cloudy, but we hope to see some balloons. We brought Elijah's cousin, Josie, with us for the morning.
Waiting to see if they will fly in.
They gave them a green flag! Look at our seats - right in front of the target.
The first group of balloons caught a shift in the wind and stayed too far east.
The kids ran around playing superman and supergirl.
Way high in the sky!
Finally some balloons came right over the target.
Here's one after it passed us. Now it's over the tents and carnival.
I love this one!

That evening...
The bounce houses were free (unlike the carnival) so we spent a lot of time jumping around.
We saw a big green egg.
We missed the balloons because of the bounce houses and the crowds.
Dinner was yummy! I had a philly cheese steak and Elijah snacked on everyone's food.
This balloon has a cross! Too bad they didn't pass out programs with balloon names.
Eva had to be carried the entire time. My neck stills hurts and Erik is 'sore all over.'
We met up with some friends. This is Sommer - she goes to Elijah's daycare and is 2 days younger than Elijah.
US Bank sponsored the events.
Family picture. You can see our balloon view was blocked a little...
Mr. Cool Balloon was the first shape balloon to inflate.
This is Lydia - she's Sommer's little sister and is 6 weeks younger than Eva.
On our way to the car, we could see the shape balloons better. Shark was eating Elvis.
As always, we end with a glow.
