Plano Balloon Festival

Sorry it's taken me so long to post these photos. I don't even have an excuse. Just plain blog lazy! :) I had a wonderful time at my Balloon Festival/Surprise Birthday Party. EA got me good. I had NO IDEA so many people would show up; we had a BLAST! These photos are nothing spectacular, and they certainly don't do justice to the actual show. If you've never been, you should definitely check out the event next year. It is AMAZING!


Sweet Allie!


Wanna Grape? I was so glad to see Barry! Precious!


City of Plano! Woohoo! Thanks for putting on such a great festival!


HA! A hot air balloon shaped as a penguin! Who would have thought?!


You KNOW I had to give a SHOUT OUT to JCP! Woot, Woot!


Arrrrrrgh! (In my BEST pirate accent!)


Roooooaaaaarrrrr!!! (In my BEST dinosaur accent!)


Group shot from our seats.


Isn't EA looking more adorable than ever? He's lost 30-ish pounds and is looking AWESOME! Go EA!


Speaking of adorable! Allie is SUCH a good girl. She is truly the sweetest little girl I have ever met. Thanks so much for coming to my birthday party, Allie!


Here is a group shot of the Balloon "Glow." It is, hands down, the neatest part of the festival. It's pitch black outside, and the balloons simultaneously light their fires. It looks INCREDIBLE.


Can you believe they scheduled a fireworks show for my birthday? How nice! :) Thanks to everyone for coming out. I had a wonderful time! Love and Hugs - Ashley*
