Glow Balloon Glow

For starters…  We celebrated Audi’s birthday today.  Happy birthday handsome!  🙂   He hit the big 3-6!!!  How does that happen exactly?  Getting older??  Exactly how?  I have less than a year before I’m considered mid 30’s.  Not a good sound to me…  😉    This time of the year is a favorite at our house for two reasons.  First:  There’s a birthday to celebrate.  Second:  The Forest Park Balloon Glow.  It always falls around Audi’s birthday, so it’s the perfect way to celebrate!  Every year St. Louis has a really cool balloon race.  The night before the launch there is always the glow.  Basically this huge field is filled with tons of hot air balloons.  Every so often a horn sounds and the balloons are lit simultaneously for several seconds.  It’s seriously one of our most favorite events to attend as a family.

Banjo was so excited to see the balloons this year.  I’m grateful for these opportunities to build memories for my children.  See you again next year, Balloon Glow!
