Balloon Fest

Last Weekend we went out to the Howell Balloon Festival to see the hot air balloons and the fireworks. As we were driving into Howell we saw a bunch of hot air balloons in the sky, Halle and Mason were amazed. Unfortunately we got there too late to actually see them launch. We had a couple hours until the fireworks started so we let the kids ride the rides. Halle and Mason had a blast as they ran from ride to ride. You would never have known it was past their bedtimes! They were the perfect riding partners! Halle would help Mason into his seat, buckle them in and then guide him in the right direction as the ride ended. Mason loved having her right beside him as it gave him more courage to do some things that I'm not sure he would have without her (i.e. ride in the first car on the alligator rollercoaster)! Thanks Halle :) Mason's favorite part of the evening was when Andy won him a giant white Tiger which he still LOVES! Maybe next year we will get there earlier to actually see the hot air balloons too!
PS-Mason did not like the fireworks so I guess it is a good thing we let him play first!!
