We went to the balloon race today. It was overcast most of the day, so no bright blue sky for my pictures this year. I think I still managed to get a few good shots and some interesting ones. It was kind of cool today, too. Not too cool, though so it was still comfortable.
We managed to get a parking spot near the ice skating rink. We originally parked in the hospital parking garage, but when we came down the hill and saw the parking lot mostly empty, Michael went back and got the truck. I don't think we've ever been able to park in the park for the balloon race. We could have probably even gotten closer on one of the roads, but didn't realize it would be so empty. There weren't near as many people there today as usual.
The bunny did not get to take off. It was too windy for such a big balloon. The Macy's balloon became the chase balloon today. By the end the last few balloons had to stay tethered because the wind had picked up. We still had fun, though.
The kids had a great time petting two dogs that were near us. They were big dogs and so cute. The biggest dog just loved using the smaller one as a pillow. Poor thing could not move because the bigger one would not get up off of him.
After the race we went to Cracker Barrel for supper. It wasn't near as crowded as it usually is, either. That was kind of nice. By the time we got home we were all really tired. I am feeling a little weird tonight, too. I'm probably just over tired. So, it's off to bed.
