Great East Texas Balloon Race 2010

We woke up this morning to at least 20 balloons passing over Longview as they got ready for the balloon race.

Ashton was more interested in the helicopter flying around. (that is what he is pointing at)

I love it when they call me big pap-a......

We had the best seats, right in front... they are blowing up the balloon for the national anthem.

Coltons favorite balloon was the pirate, it was the last balloon shown.
