Albuquerque Balloon Festival!

We recently got to attend the ABF. What an amazing sight! Thanks to our friends Justin and Marla who put the idea in our heads. To David and Toni for loaning us their pop-up trailer and to our friend George for putting us up at a friends real estate office, with water and electric hook up!!!

We are very grateful to be able to build memories like these with our boys. Many people have said over and over again how fast they grow up and I am thankful we are choosing to spend as much time with them creating memories as we can.

We got there late Thurs. evening, just in time to set up the trailer and get the boys to bed for our early wake time of 5:45am. They did great, slept well and woke up OK. They were definitely awake by the time we saw the balloons getting blown up and heading off into the sky. WOW!!!

We got to go to a session Fri. am but the Fri. pm session was cancelled, so no balloons, but we did get to see an amazing firework show! Sat am was also cancelled so we decided to make a trip to the zoo. The boys first trip to the zoo....and did they love it. They loved seeing all the cool animals that the see in their picture books. Giraffes, lions, seals, monkeys, snakes, etc, etc. We saw it all.

I hope you enjoy the photos because we sure enjoyed making the memories!

Love to you all!
