Balloons at Night

Our Halloween weekend started out Friday night with going to NASA for the balloon festival - like we did last year. This time we went at night for the "glow".
Hard to keep that kid inside the rope. Luckily, we weren't the only one with rowdy kids. And it was nicely noisy to disguise Coop's discontent. I liked the Earth balloon!
Meg sat with Coop the majority of the event while I wrangled Cooper. When they played the Star Spangled Banner, all the balloon bases (without the balloons) shot up their flames at the end - Meg thought this was especially fun.
We had a chicken strip picnic. Mommy did manage to dress everyone warmly - except herself.
As long as he had a snack, Coop was pretty good.


They "flickered" the balloons.

Nothing better to light up balloons than the theme from Jurassic Park - doesn't that have to be the best ever?! Band nerd.
I think every night this weekend, we carried the children in asleep. But they were pretty good sports and not too fussy. I would say the balloon fest was a big hit. Next year, Cooper will be big enough to are what's going on.
