Balloon Fiesta

This past week was the annual Internatinal Balloon Fiesta. It is the biggest Ballon Fiesta in the world with over 800 balloons and about 100,000 people attend daily. They have different events each day and it is a lot of fun. This year we decided to go and camp in my parents RV with them one night so that we didn't have to fight the traffic. They have three huge RV lots set up right at the Fiesta. The kids of course thought it was the greatest thing ever. I found the whole RV lot pretty humorous. People really get intot heir RV's. Some of them cost more than our house! They tow boats and cars behind them. They have sattelite dish and Internet. There are even these groups that all have RV's and they travel around the U.S. together. Anyway, back to the Fiesta. The weather was perfect and we had a great time!
