Midland Balloon Festival

Tonight we went to the Midland Balloon Festival with our friends the Manchesters. In addition to the hot air balloons the Manchesters also threw a "tailgate" birthday party for their son William who was turning 4. All the kids had a blast eating treats and watching all the balloons and sky divers. The picture of Ben's expression (the one where his mouth is open) is how the kids looked all night. They were in awe of everything. Anyway, it was a fun time. The best part is always the finale (called the "afterglow") where all the balloons light up at night. It's pretty cool.
