Balloon Fiesta!!!

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta was from Oct 2 thru Oct 10, this post is dedicated to the fiesta. I enjoyed waking up everyday to hundreds of hot air balloons floating over my house, and getting to watch fireworks 5 out of 8 nights of the fiesta! Creampa Mike and Nina Shari came to visit for the last weekend of the fiesta and we had a blast together watching balloons and fireworks. Dad, mom and I gave Creampa a balloon ride for his birthday...Happy Birthday Creampa!!! It was exciting watching him go up in the basket! I hope you enjoy this post!!!

This was the view I woke up to the first morning of the fiesta...not bad


Showing my fish where the balloons are in the sky:)


There are all sorts of special shapes balloons...here comes the stork!


I loved the cow balloon...now I know how a cow can jump over the moon!


I don't think I looked at the camera once the entire fiesta....too many balloons to see


A flying house!


This was a competition day....such pretty balloons


A mass ascension morning....all the balloons go up....there's Sponge Bob!!!


Mom says this is a jester...I still think it's a spider


Cockadoodledoo



Uh mom got me here....I looked at the camera


After all the balloons land I play the rock game with Ody for a while



Mom, Dad, and I waited for Creampa and Nina to go the the fiesta park to see the balloons up close....there was NO WAY mom was getting me to turn around to look at the camera!


She got me here though....hot air balloons are so amazing to watch


We are watching some balloons lift off


Humpty Dumpty can FLY?!?!


I forgot to mention that we had to get up at 5am every day to go to the fiesta....and it is COLD at that hour!


But it is worth it to get to watch balloons light up in the dark...they call it a morning glow...it was too windy for them to take off this particular morning



There are 9 more balloons lined up behind this one....pretty cool huh?


Creampa got to help inflate the balloon he was going up in!


WOW! Creampa what are you doing?

Creampa practicing emergency landing drills....love the expression Creampa!

Wow look at the fire! Have fun Creampa!


"Bye Creampa I miss you!" said as he lifted off.


I had a great time throughout the fiesta! Sorry there are no fireworks pics...we never took out the camera for it. Can't wait for next years fiesta!!! I wonder who will come visit and go with us next year?

Ciao!!!
