Fly high in the sky....

There's an amazing balloon festival every summer in good ole NJ. This is Mya's 2nd time, we skipped last year. It's Ashley's 1st time. We knew Ash would love it cause she's obsessed with balloons. She even says boon whenever she sees a balloon. We decided to go to the morning take off and to also just watch from the parking lot, like we did last time. It's pretty expensive to get in and we didn't know how long the girls would last. We decided after that we'll totally buy tickets next year cause it was so much fun and the girls loved it! There was also a 5K, so I think Frank, Ry and I will run it, than watch the balloons take off next year! FUN!

They're filling up...

...off they go, right above us.

Me and my girl

I wanna ride in that one.

So so beautiful.

The girls watching from Ryan and Frank's shoulders. Frank stayed at our house on Saturday night to join us.

Darth Vader making his appearance (before he came down and landed in the parking lot). Mya asked why there was a monster in the sky. And it was so close that you could see the fire in the balloon, she was a little apprehensive about that one.

Super close and super big!

They look so amazing flying in the sky.

Happy faces

Another balloon went smacking into Darth Vader.

SO MANY!

So entranced...

USA, before that one came crashing down in the woods, YIKES! Would not want to be in that basket.

USA in the woods.

Good times, can't wait till next year when we're up super close!
