Waaaaaaay back in September we went to New Haven's annual Balloon Festival and Parade. The theme this year was "Celebrate the Spirit." Actually, we only went to the parade, then went home for a nap. The kids didn't wake up early enough to go back into town to watch the balloons launch, but fortunately for us, the wind carried them directly over our house. Here's some photos . . .

Dane's favorite part was the candy!

The "hare" balloon was shaped like a Pepsi can -- fitting since the balloon race was sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company in New Haven.
Dane slept through the balloon race, but Ava and Sammy came outside to watch.
Ava borrowed Daddy's "noc-wee-urs" to get a closer look:

More posts to come -- as you can tell, I've got a ways to go before I catch up!
