Layla's new favorite thing

The hot air balloon event is in Midland this week. Last year we tried to see a few with Dad and Cindy but didn't get the chance because it was too windy. This year we were determined to see them!

We were going to go out yesterday but it was rainy and windy and L didn't take a nap. No nap again today and I didn't think we'd ever get to see them! But we went out to eat and on our way out of the restaurant Layla's face got really red and she started to cry/scream and make other weird noises. I didn't know what was wrong with her, it kink of scared us at first. Finally she pointed in the sky and what do you know...a bright blue hot air balloon was floating by just a few blocks from us! She was SO excited she had no idea what to do with herself. It was hilarious.

So we decided to take a little adventure and follow the balloon to see where it would land. We had GREAT seats and got to see a ton of different balloons. Best part about all of it? L's reaction was to die for (I can't remember which one is the best video...I'm thinking #2 but they are both great):

Hopefully we'll get to see some more tomorrow. But I'm sure we'll be talking about this for months and months!
