Balloon Festival

Last weekend we went up to Star Valley Wyoming to see the Balloon festival. We got there a little late and then we stayed up late chatting with Jason and his family! Then we got up at 6:00 A.M. to see the balloons... but there weren't any balloons so I went running. When I got back everyone was at the GaudyMaude festival. It was so much fun! There was bingo and a really old man singing a bunch of sad songs (it was Patrick's Grandpas best friend). There were a lot of booths with everything from puppies to jewelry to osteoperosis medicine. My highlight was the horse-shoe competition. It was awesome. patrick and I did pretty good, we took 4th the first round. Then Jason and Patrick's Dad took 3rd the second round. 
 
On Sunday they were able to get the balloons up. It was so cool. We were able to sit on the back deck and watch them.  The wind blew them literally right in Jason's back yard.

There was a balloon that was just a few houses down so we walked over and they gave us some rides. It was amazing how smooth a ride it was. G.K. even got in. 
 
We went back to the GaudyMaude festival and tried to climb the rock wall -the only one who made it to the top was Quenton!  But we all gave it a try. We played some Bingo and I won twice, Jason won, and so did Vicke! We played more horse shoes and ate a lot of food! It is definitely a must for next year too!
