8-20-2011 Marysville Balloon Festival

Grandma and Paw Paw invited us to meet them at the balloon festival in Marysville.
We had a great time and will definitely mark our calendars to remember this next year.
Besides the balloons, they had fair food at reasonable prices (unheard of, right?), cheap parking, live bands and characters walking around.

It rained on the way there and on the way home - but the rain held off the entire time we were there.


This is such a great look of surprise and joy!


Sadie found that if she talked to Paw Paw sweetly, he would let her stand on his legs. 

Dash is practicing the "toddler squat" - look no hands.
He insisted on crawling on the pavement. 
(He does it so that his knees don't scrape the ground somehow.)

Here are the balloons starting to inflate.

Off they go!

The wind was very strong - so they disappeared pretty fast.

Grandma takes good pictures with Dasher - he must be her lucky picture charm.



Here is Grandma in front to the Darth Vader Balloon. 
 (They never actually got this one off the ground.)



Oh yeah, they had skydivers too.
(And helicopter rides if you had the dough.)

Crazy Sadie

Coy Sadie

Sadie liked the music and danced with Paw Paw.


Dash is waving Hi!  (Still not saying anything yet)


Mommy loves this one.
(You can almost hear his laugh through the picture)



Mommy, I hear music.
We eventually moved over to the band and Sadie made some friends to run around and dance with.


Once it got dark, all the balloons came back - it was so cool!
