Balloon Races!!!

This weekend is the Annual Great Mississippi River Balloon Race, and I am excited. I love to see the balloons flying overhead in the sky, just leasurely passing the world by, floating through the air. This morning as I was getting back into my car from dropping Knox off at his friend Sam's house, I saw a big balloon gently drifting above me towards the river. It was the first balloon of the season (for me, anyway), and i always love waking up early this weekend just to see them. Its always a rainbow of bubbles floating up high in waves. Sometimes a big mass of colors, sometimes just one or two at a time. This year Knox is old enough to see it and know that it is unusual, so i hope to get him up early, also, to look at the wonder that is a hot-air balloon. I don't think he's ever seen one, not to mention in person, so this should be a real treat to show him. Wesley and I have plans to take him to the little fair that they have along side the races. I think he will love to run around and play the games with all the excitment.
