This year, we first decided to watch the balloons lift off from afar...
 |
| Mommy made kolaches for a breakfast treat. A certain someone is happy to eat one (and then some). |
 |
| This lucky penguin had a front row seat. |
 |
| Adalyn's excited to see the balloons despite the early time and cold weather. |
 |
| This is just a small portion of what the balloons look like in the Albuquerque skies. |
 |
| As some balloons take off, more balloons inflate and start ascending for a constant stream of balloons. |
...then decided we needed a closer view. Behold! Pictures from our first mass ascension and morning glow!
 |
| Balloons start inflating for the early morning glow. |
 |
| Ooooooh! |
 |
| Aaaaaaah! |
 |
| Two excited balloon fiesta attendees. |
 |
| Adalyn has to pet and say hi to the security horse. And wonder what to feed him. |
Goodbye glowing balloons!
 |
| The balloons not only glowed on the ground but in the air as well! Ooooooh! |
 |
| Transitioning from morning glow to morning ascension. |
A little girl finally says hi after a very early morning.
 |
| You can almost hear the Star Wars theme song as the Darth Vader balloon ascends. |
 |
| It's harder to say who was more excited...a mommy or a little girl. |
 |
| Adalyn with her early morning breakfast of a muffin and hot chocolate. |
The clock balloon ascends...TADA!
 |
| After eating, Adalyn finally looks more awake! |
 |
| This balloon is ready to inflate. |
So many balloons!
 |
| Adalyn likes watching the balloons inflate. |
 |
| Michael and Adalyn standing next to a queen balloon, which was possibly the biggest balloon at the festival. |

| The ginormous queen balloon and the three bee balloons. |
 |
| Still having fun! |
 |
| This guy is still having fun, too. :) |
 |
| This fun astronaut balloon was one of the last balloons to launch. |
After a very early and cold morning, it's time for something warm and comforting...
 |
| ...like homemade hot chocolate with as many marshmallows as it can hold. |
