The NO Balloon Fiesta

Katie and her girls came to our pool at the hotel to swim. It is so much more fun swimming when you have friends to swim with and they had a lot of fun. I was also able to give her all of the extra food we won't have time to eat before we return to Las Vegas.
This is Zach showing off all of his assets.


I took the kids to Pei Wei for a lunch/dinner and they practiced their violins with chopsticks.
If you must know, they are playing Bouree.

Rinar came home from Denver this afternoon around 5pm and so we headed directly to the Balloon Fiesta once we picked him up from the airport. The weather was lovely and the wind added an extra nice touch, which altered our Balloon Fiesta experience to a NO Balloon Fiesta experience. Apparently, they don't blow up the balloons when there is any kind of wind. The balloon people were nice enough to shoot fire into the sky so that there was at least something to look at. Eli was globbering up a cookie and every time the guy turned the fire on he looked a little more than mildly concerned, but not concerned enough to stop eating his cookie.

There was a wonderful fireworks display at the end. They did traditional ones at one end of the field and then it switched gears and they shot these things off right next to us about 3/4 of the way through the show. The boys really enjoyed it and it was almost as much fun listening to their commentary as it was to watch the fireworks. Zach said that the smoke looked like insects. Hmmm, my mind didn't go in that direction, but I guess I could see his point.
