FFF-No Theme
Excitement


Last night, coming home from town we saw a
hot air balloon.
Crista was beside herself with excitement
so we pulled off on a back road and watched it go by.
She studied it in silence until she couldn't see it anymore.
About 5 minutes after we got home, that same hot air balloon
floated over our little town, over our neighbor's field.
We got an up close and personal view of it.
It was the highlight of Crista's week for sure!
Now Crista's adamant that she's going to ride in one!
Life through a child's eyes is simply magical!

Sorry the quality of this pic is pretty poor.
It was taken on my cell phone.

OHHHHHHH I love that picture, I think its just awesome, I"m very impressed for a cell phone. Aren't kids crazy, Maya wants to ride in one too, that makes me want to have a heart attack and there in NO Way I will step foot in a little basket that far off the ground.
