The 2011 Balloon Fiestas are here! And, for some of us...it never gets old. We had the pleasure of having Nana & Grandpa Bob in town to enjoy it with us. And, they must have brought the great So Cal weather too. It was so beautiful. Not cold at all...mid-60's in the a.m. We were very lucky because by mid-week the temperature dropped dramatically, it rained and they canceled 3 days of the festivities. And, this weekend the mass ascension was a cool 40 degrees. Brrrr! Nana & Bob also got to see a Soccer game while they were here...and Jake scored a GOAL! Thank you to Sophie's Ninos, Anna & Mike for bringing Bob & Pat to us. You guys are the best. And also for spending time with our 2 little monsters. Wish we could see each other more often. We miss you all!
