Walla Walla Balloon Stampede

We had such a great time at the Walla Walla Balloon Stampede! We didn't have a lot planned for saturday and Brock had been once before, so we left around 4pm and totally enjoyed ourselves. John Farrell hitched a ride and we loved having him along with us for the evening! This was Mother's Day weekend, so this was my great Mother's Day family outing. It was free to enter and there was a fair type atmosphere. We walked the booths for a while, ate some snacks (I had packed lunches and all sorts of yummy stuff), and then we took Wyatt to the kids area. Big mistake! There was bounce houses, small rides, and the giant slides. He wasn't even begging, but I knew how much he would LOVE the big slides. So although the price was outrageous, Brock took him down the big slides. He was IN LOVE. And before they even came to a stop wyatt was screaming "MORE." We battled him from then on. It was too costly to go again, and so we quickly left that area with a screaming and kicking child. He finally calmed down when he realized the hot air balloons were starting to light up. There were only about 9 balloons, but I had never seen one up close and it was really fun to watch them light up. Our neighbors, Chris and Kaylee Smith, came with us too. We have really loved these new neighbors, they are great! Wyatt was so exhausted and slept the whole way home!

Look at that face! SO CUTE.

Loving the slide!
