Forest Park Balloon Races 2010

It's been awhile since we've been able to make it back to the balloon races in Forest Park, but we made it this year with a group of great friends and Olivia!


For those of you not familiar with the event, the Engizer Bunny Balloon leads the race...the Balloon is taller than the Statue of Liberty; the ears alone are over 16ft taller than the other balloons in the race. All the other balloons follow to a point where bags of corn are dropped into a circular area...the "race" is more an "accuracy" contest on how close you can drop the bag to the marked spot.

Olivia saw Alex again this weekend...she is at the age where all she wants to do is pull on his clothes, limbs, face, etc...it's not good for Alex at all! He's a tad scared of her and not sure what she is doing at all! There's a 3.5 month age difference...just enough to matter now, but it will be great when they are a little older and we all get together.
