No way!! The Balloon Classic is this weekend??

The last day in Colorado started if with getting up really early, and heading out to the Balloon Classic. I remember getting up early as a kids and going to this. It was so nice to see the balloons, and feel the nice cool morning air.

There were some huge hampster balls, and you could get in and run around in.

Huh?? You say somethin Josh?

Hey - its the 'when pigs fly' balloon.


Ah... look at these two.

After a quick stop by Waffle House, we went by the ol' house on Branding Iron.... wait -what is that? That is a new building/home across the street.

And for dinner? Josh and Shaleese seem so happy to partake in our tradition, thats not an official tradition of going to Golden Corral.

Then Me, Josh, Shaleese, and Gerald headed up to the Air Force Academy.

Now, this display in the visitor's center. I don't know why this looked weird - but if anyone can tell me WHY the scientist is smiling as he is touching the rat...

Ah-ha! I caught Gerald checkin' out the Air Force stuff.... could we get him to by some Air Force stuff from the Gift Shop?? How could he object - everything said 'Falcons' on it.

A quick stop by the Cadet Chapel.

And oh - from yesterday. Josh and Shaleese had a great idea to get something for Jessica and Gerald and family something nice for the sealing. We up with this. It was a GREAT idea. They loved it!
