Saturday night we all went to the Ballunar Liftoff Festival held right in our backyard at NASA's JSC. While I don't think we all thought it was such a hot idea to have brought JHP to this event when we first got there and for a while after that, I think the finale of our evening might have changed our minds. We missed out on the evening flight as the winds were way too high for the balloons to lift off. You can tell the by the flag in the first photo. Even after sundown they fought pretty hard to keep those two balloons in control via long tethers. And a note on the globe balloon in the second and third photo: This was it's debut. It was created by using satellite imagery inkjeted onto the fabric and hand sewn together. And it was really cool!
Lots of standing/sitting around with large crowds is probably not the most ideal place for our child at this age. We've asked a lot of him is the last few weeks with all the adventures we've been on. Overall on this adventure, he did pretty well. He's just two and while the half hour of glow was really cool, what led up to it really didn't hold his attention for any length of time. One day his parents might learn not to ask so much of him.
