Last Saturday we woke up at 5:30 a.m. to go watch the hot air balloons take off. One problem, we weren't for sure where they were. They usually depart from Tuthill Park or somewhere over on that side of town, but we had heard that they were somewhere else this year. So we all pile into the death van, Arthur included. First we are on the interstate, going to the north end of town, then we get off on Benson, go east until Six Mile Road. For those of you not familiar with Sioux Falls, that road is between Brandon and Sioux Falls. Then we turn south until about 69th st. (south Sioux Falls) and we see nothing. We call Jake's uncle who always knows what's going on, and that's when we find out that it was too windy for the balloons to take off. Damn it. I could have slept in today. Oh well, so we tried again Sunday. Once again up at about 5:15 a.m. but it was totally worth it. Sam thought that they were the neatest things ever. Nathan slept. After the balloons were all gone, we ventured over to the park and played. It was a good time. Arthur finally got to get out of the van and play too. He even went down the slide too!
Poor Arthur going down the slide.
I finally captured a picture of Nathaniel's heart melting smile!
