Tonight we went to the Balloon Glow in Forest Park with Mike and Jeff!
It's part of the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. The race will be on Saturday, when the Energizer Bunny balloon takes off, and then all the other balloons take off to chase it. Tonight, though, the balloons are all anchored in the park and they keep firing their burners to keep the balloons aloft. It's so pretty when they all light up in the dark! There must have been 25 or maybe even 30 balloons!
Then, I was hanging onto the side of one and it suddenly broke free of its tie-down ropes and we took off, straight up up up into the night sky, flying over the whole city. I was still hanging from the side and the balloon man was holding me by one ankle while he fired the balloon with his other hand. After a while he had to steer and land and stuff, so he tied a rope around my ankle and I hung off the edge. We landed about an hour away and I only bumped my head a little before he was able to grab me and pick me up.
HAH, gotcha! Just kidding! I just rode around in my stroller, ate Cheetos, looked at balloons and then came home for bed.
We did have an awesome time and took lots of pictures, though! (Something's up with Blogger.com and I can't post any right now...I'll try again Saturday!)
