On Saturday we went to the Balloon Fiesta; I love this event. It is a two week event and it is so much fun!
For the past two weeks we have enjoyed seeing hot air balloons every morning in the sky. We live close to the Temple so Alina and I have been walking there to see them. She loves it and so do I!
One morning I counted 130 balloons in the air at once, and that is not all of them that went off that morning for sure.
Growing up my Dad would always take us to the Provo 4th of July celebration where they send off about 25-30 balloons. I always thought was cool, but that doesn't even compare to the International Baloon Fiesta here. People from all over the world come to this Fiesta. The air currents in Albuquerque are perfect for hot air ballooning.
After Alina got over being cold, she loved being at the park and seeing all of the balloons. The rest of the day she talked about the cow balloon, the pig balloon and the wagon balloon. It was fun to see her enjoyment of the event as well.
We have some friends that live nearby the park, so we parked near their house and walked to the park. Adam had borrowed a bike trailer and was very excited to bike to the park. Alina loved the bike trailer the two days before, but she wailed when we tried to get her in it at 6:00 a.m. in the cold.
I love this time of year, and it makes it even more enjoyable to have a big event to go to.
This quilt is for the new little baby and the one below is for Alina. I loved how they turned out. Quilts always take longer than you expect, but they are very satisfying when you are done. Now on to the next project before this baby comes
