Hot Air Balloon Festival

We went to the Plano Balloon Festival this weekend and had an...ok time. I knew the balloons lifted off at 7 am and 6pm. But due to Maddi's schedule I also knew we wouldn't be able to make either of those times. However, we got there around 9. Now, seeing as this is a balloon festival, I figured there would still be atleast one or a few balloons on the ground or atleast visible in the sky. Not so. There was not a balloon to be seen for miles. Needless to say, we got in at the discounted rate but I was still kind of disappointed that we didn't even get to see ONE. We walked around for a little while and stopped at a few of the booths. It turned more into a scouting mission for next year where we will definitely try to make lift-off. So, the only pics I have to post are the ones on the bus to and from the "festival." It was kind of weird though. From the time you learn you are having a baby, all you hear about are ways to keep your child safe. The most important one being a car seat. But you get on a public transportation bus and you don't even have a seat belt to hold you or your child! Kind of a scary feeling. But we survived!
