I'll fly away..

For $250 a person! Needless to say, I didn't fly away to anywhere but other people did. Last Saturday Ayden and I went to the Plano Balloon Festival with Grammy. The temperatures were straight out of Hades, but we managed to find some shade while Ayden got a kick out of some remote control cars. This post is a lot of pictures, but I'm sure most of you won't mind.

Some of the balloons were dull, but the majority were really bright and eye-catching. I have included just a few that I enjoyed.

Love him!

Ayden was fascinated with the balloons. He of course didn't pay attention to them while they were laying them on the ground, but once they began to air them up, he was hooked!

So excited when a balloon was launched.

He managed to find a sucker I had stashed for emergencies in my purse.

He's trying to convince me the sucker was a good idea.

I don't remember what he was trying to tell us, but I love the face I captured.

This is the race track for the remote cars. He is literally bent over laughing! The kids driving the cars were running into each other and the cars would flip and launch over the barriers.

He's a cool cat with his shades.

Whoo-hoo! Maybe...

So I was able to upload this picture! Yay! We had a storm about 3 weeks ago and we lost our Internet connection. I call AT&T and they tried everything on their end, so they sent a technician out to check the wires outside. He leaves me a voicemail saying the exterior wires are good, and it must be a bad modem. So... we buy a modem/router combo (which I was glad to do since our old router was the reason I couldn't blog!) and think it will fix our problem. Guess what? It doesn't. So once again we are on the phone with customer service (Kendall was smart enough to not have me do it this time). They AGAIN make him run tests to make sure it isn't the, oh, I don't even know what they were doing. So they AGAIN send someone out to check the outside lines. He decides he needs to come inside. Fortunately for us, this was a Tuesday. Kramer happens to have a key to our house and is off on Tuesdays. So last Tuesday we regained Internet and got a new -unneeded- modem. But hey, I can blog again! Now I just need pictures...

Balloon Festival in Plano on Saturday, so lets hope I get some great shots!

(as an aside, the picture I posted was the front of Kendall's Father's Day card. I decided to personalize all of the cards this year and they all had some sort of picture of Ayden with a quote I picked that I thought fit the person. I hope they all enjoyed - and yes, I do understand Father's Day was 3 months ago...)
