Hot Air Balloon Ride

Last weekend was Beef N Bean Day. Being from a small town growing up (both Dan and I) we like to take part in small town day events and enjoy. The morning started out with the fire truck siren coming through the neighborhood around 5:30am to wake up everyone for the fireman's breakfast. We went to the breakfast about 7am, it was pretty good, they always get you through the line fast, you get lots to eat and it's only $5 and Katelynn is still free (the only drawback is that the milk delivery company is there supplying the drinks and tries to sell, sell, sell). We walked back to the car and saw that they had the Remax hot air balloon set up and decided that Katelynn and I should take a quick ride on it, when were ever going to have the chance to try this again and for free?! So into the line we went and waited and waited and waited and waited. The wind kept coming up and getting gustier and gustier and they were having some trouble, but at the end of our hour wait we were one of the last people to get to go up in the balloon and Katelynn loved it, it was well worth the wait. Later that day we enjoyed the town parade and went to the park to eat lunch and check out the booths and then finished up the night watching the fireworks from our backyard.
