The Great Reno Balloon Race was one of the most amazing thing that I have ever done. We found out about the race just a week or two before we were to be in Utah for Aaron's training. We usually like to drive at night so the boys sleep, but decided to stay in Reno for the night and get up super early to go and see the balloons. They had this thing that started at 5:00 am with the balloons glowing before the sun came up. But due to a Travelocity snafu we did not get into our hotel until late so we didn't get up in time for that. Next Year for Sure! We made it in time for the flag raising in the Eagle balloon.
Once the National Anthem was played and the flag raised all the other balloons started to rise. We were standing in the middle of the field and balloons were going up all around us.

I took a picture of this one because we stayed at Circus Circus Friday night. We will stay there again when we go next year. It was very nice and you didn't have to go into the casino part if you did not want to. It also had a midway where they did trapeze acts all during the day. We will have to catch some of those next year too.
I just loved how bright each balloon was. The boys loved the character balloons there were bees, and Smokey the Bear and the Energizer Bunny and a balloon called Wally that must have been Nemo's cousin.

Those are some awesome pictures! I'm so glad we got to hang out while you were here ... it had been WAY too long! ;) We'll definitely keep in much better touch now.
What fun! I just love hot air baloons.
