Happy 4th 2012!!

So away we went to Utah for my Mom's wedding (which I will post about later, because I am waiting on pics). She got married on the 3rd (yep...on my birthday!) and we stayed until the 5th.

Spending the 4th of July with my family was SO MUCH FUN! We decided to wake up VERY... oh SO VERY early (4:30am early) to get ready and make it to the balloon-fest in Provo. I am SO glad we did because it was SO AMAZING! I have never seen a balloon take off before, I am used to seeing them from afar.... floating in the sky. When we got there, there were SO MANY balloons all crammed together, we went right up around them and watched as they fired up and took off.... it was so beautiful and fun! ....Eli was mesmerized! They are supposed to return and make a bean bag toss on a target, grab a balloon on a string, and land again (but due to the wind that day) we didn't get to see much of that. Afterwards, we did the big pancake breakfast (YUM!) and went home to....nap :D After all that, we had a BBQ with family and missed the fireworks due to wanting a well rested baby for the flight home the next day! What a great day!

Balloon-Fest here we come!

Eli mesmerized... if you look closely you can see balloon reflection in his eyes!


Good-Bye balloons!
