Another BEN weekend

As if this might be the last weekend of Ben being an only child - we took him to the zoo this morning and this afternoon he rode a hot air balloon.
It was tethered and only up for a few minutes - but he had a blast. It was a fund raiser for a local high school band that is trying to raise money for the Rose Bowl Parade.

waiting in line... we were about 4-5 rides back when the winds picked up too high and they deflated the balloon. We went back this evening and at 730 the winds finally diminished to re-inflate, Pete and Ben were the 2nd ones on since they had tickets from earlier.






I think he liked it JUST a little bit


We stayed and watched for a bit since they were going to keep going after sunset. The lantern glow was great!
