Balloonfest!

We look forward to the balloonfest every year! We spent pretty much an entire day here. Went in the morning for rides, left to cool down and eat, then went back to see the balloons launch and ride more rides.

Apparently there was something about these bears. It has the longest, slowest line of any ride and Emmett kept wanting to ride it again

 He loved this thing and did, not even kidding, at least 20 times. It was an obstacle course type thing for them to climb and then go down a giant tunnel slide. Here he is up on the bridge...

 Some cool shots of him in the tunnel slide

Riding the elephants

On the carousel. Can you tell it was hot?!

Time for the balloons to launch!

He finally got another turn on the bears! 

This alligator coaster was a big hit too. Check out that face!

One last ride on the tractors before we called it a night!
