Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

We drove 8 hours (each way) to spend a Saturday at the Albuqueque Balloon Fiesta. And it was SO worth the crazy drive! It's the biggest balloon festival in the world, and this year they launched over 450 balloons within a 3-hour period.  It was so cool! 

My mom and step-dad met us for the weekend.

Charlie loved the police horses. 

This has to go on your bucket list! It was amazing!

We love fall!

Charlie loves cars, trucks, and tractors!



At the state fair, we saw Kansas perform. Carry on!



After begging for days, Charles finally got his first pumpkin!



Happy fall!

We love the zoo.

We've spent a lot of time at the zoo this summer. It's definitely one of our favorite spots here.

Roman Nose State Park

There are these amazing cool springs that become super shallow streams through the woods. Charles loved walking through the water!

We slept in a real teepee! It was awesome! 

Swing Swing Swing

Summer has been good to us. We've been spending our days at the pool, splash pads, and our own backyard. We love playing in the sprinklers, too, but most of all, we love to swing!

Color Me Rad!

Happy Easter!

10 minutes later the boy had sneakily unwrapped and devoured like 20 chocolates. :)
