The Indiana State Fair has begun! It officially kicked off yesterday at dawn with a Hot Air Balloon race. This is something we are going to try and make a family tradition every year to attend. We went last year, but it was rained out and we only saw a few balloons even still inflated. This year was a totally different story...
Lucas thought all the balloons were amazing.
It was a toss up for his favorite...the football or the Pepsi Can.
Can you see the first one that took off way in the distance?
This was all of them...the last to take off is at the top and if you look way at the bottom middle of the pic and you can see the first three really really tiny.
Here is the family after they were all off the ground. It is an AMAZING event to watch and would highly suggest it to anyone. You do have to rise early though...by the time the sun was up over 1/2 of them were off the ground! Good thing (at least for yesterday) I got two early risers.

Those are AMAZING pictures. We might have to come down one year to check that event out with you guys. We like the Pepsi balloon the best (of course). I haven't seen a picture of you in awhile Mel... you look great. See you soon.
Jacob loves hot air balloons too. Here in Peoria every year, they have a hot air balloon fest that we've taken him too this year and last year. They fly right by our house...it's awesome!
That looks like so much fun, its definately not something you get to see everyday! What a cool family tradition!
Very cool. I'll have to take ashtin next year...she loves hot air balloons. she even gets excited about the fake one on top of the new shell gas stations!
Lucas and Lilly are so fortunate to have parents that open the world for them step by step......in this case--cloud by cloud.
