Balloons over Raleigh!

We got back from our Florida trip in time for our first community association party! There was food, contests, pool party, a live band and the playground to keep everyone entertained.

But the big hit for us was the hot air balloon! We only went up about 20-30 feet, but it was great for all the kids and adults alike! A big thanks to our neighbors, who are ReMax agents, for getting the balloon.


Although it was getting late in the day, our little ones made their first ascent with Rich on the ground to photograph it. Ben seemed amused, but was not a fan of the noise as they fired up the balloon. Mae got upset to see Rich still on the ground and tried to jump out of Kirsten's arms, screaming "Daddy! Daddy! I want Daddy!"
All in all, we enjoyed it and will do it again, but new rule: one child to one parent until they are MUCH bigger!

You are very brave! I think it would be cool to see the view, but too scary.
