Plano Balloon Festival

Saturday was our second annual trip to the Plano Balloon Festival. We had a great time! We got there late afternoon and Mikaiya did a few activities in the FREE kid's tent and then got to jump in a bounce house...her new favorite thing!


We then went and sat out on our blanket to watch the balloons launch. This is a picture of a bunch of them up in the sky. Mikaiya was so funny, she kept saying "they're way up high and I can't reach them!".





Here's a nice family shot with the balloons in the background:


After all of the balloons get back, they set them all back up at dusk and do a balloon glow. There were some cool new ones here this year, like the Panda, Mikaiya's favorite:

And here's a picture of them all glowing, it's so neat to see!

I don't think the pics do it justice, so here's a video we took of the glow also:
A great time was had by all! Braenna LOVED the balloon glow and the fireworks at the end. Mikaiya loved everything up until the fireworks at the end. She's still talking today about how she doesn't like fireworks! That's okay though, that won't stop us from heading out again next year!
