Yes, I’m waaaaay behind on blogging. HJ & I got up early over Labor Day to go to the Colorado Balloon Classic, an annual event where tons of hot air balloons take off from Memorial Park here in the Springs and celebrate all things ballooning. It’s a weird hobby because the whole thing is over by about 8a, meaning if you sleep in even just a scoche, you’ll miss the whole thing. So we were up at 6a and walking to the park at 6:30a, only to find out the balloons were grounded due to high winds.
This is Halley with a great view of the non-existent balloons over Prospect Lake at the park. Had they taken off, we had front row seats.
We did go find the balloons and it made it worth our while…
Halley was totally enthused.
It was hard to keep her in her stroller,
as you can see…
Did I mention we got up at 6a for this?
Halley gets very attached to her toys, so much so that she won’t put them down even if it means she loses the usefulness of her hands to do things like pull herself up, crawl or take a bottle. It’s like she has prosthetic practice golf balls or Solo cups attached to her arms. For what it’s worth, practice golf balls are great toddler toys – thanks, Daddypop!

Sorry we were unable to fly for your family on Monday but glad she got to at least see some balloons. Hope you come back next year.

Two bullets were only parts of a solid and a hard outer shell, making them very durable. They are very popular with the casual golfer because of their maximum distance. They get the distance between the fact that they are a society ball touch with a low speed - he rolls along the channel when they land. The disadvantage is their lack of control due to the firmness of the ball.
