Balloon "Fiester" 2010

Hayden couldn't wait to go to Balloon Fiester this year.  I thought it was cute that he called it "Fiester" so I didn't correct him.  But evidently one of his siblings set him straight because early that morning when I woke him up to go, I said, "Hayden are ready to go to the Balloon Fiester?"  And he said, "It's not Fiester, Mom.  It's fiesta." And yes, he was ready to go.

Enjoy some pictures from this year's Fiester.
The two bees had an addition to their family since last year.
The ever popular Darth Vader--a most impressive balloon.
One of the coolest things about the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is walking around on the field while the balloonists are inflating the balloons, getting to see the whole process, and cheering for the balloons as they lift off the ground.
Sean thought it was too loud when they
were firing up the burners.
Yahoo for balloon fiesta!  Definitely one of our favorite things about Albuquerque.

Is Hayden sporting a little bit of a Brittish accent? The Brits always seem to turn the "uh" sound at the end of a word into "er"!
