Ellie couldn't sleep with all the jets flying overhead and wasn't happy to delay her nap.

The Great Forest Park Balloon Race

We took Ellie to Forest Park to check out the balloon glow the night before the race.


The crew from this balloon would sound an air horn and then all the hot air balloons would fire their burners and light up.


Like this.


The Happy Birthday balloon and the Energizer balloons were the largest.

All smiles

Big smile.
