Hot Air Balloon Festival

Yesterday, Jed and I celebrated 6 years of marriage bliss. We actually celebrated the weekend before together just in case the baby decided to come before our anniversary. So yesterday, we decided to take the day and make it more of a kid day (the second Saturday of the month is normally our "family fun" day anyways). I have been really wanting to go to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Sandy and made sure that if I hadn't popped by then then that would be what we would do on our anniversary. So we all woke up before the sun rose and drove down to watch the balloons launch at 7. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it! We had a picnic breakfast of homemade muffins, cherry tarts and personal quiches that I made the night before and watched the balloons take off. It was well worth getting up at 5:30 and the 45 minute drive (plus the couple of stops on the way because Chloe needed to use the potty). The kids' favorite were the pig balloon and the red remote blimp (or "the red rocket ship). Not going to lie, part of the reason I wanted to go so much was because I wanted to take pictures.

We did have some other things planned for the day but after stopping at the grandparent's to pick their garden after the balloon show, we all wanted to go home and take naps instead. We ended the day with watching the Lorax (which is super cute!) and eating zucchini brownies and popcorn (the kids' favorite snack).

It was a nice and relaxing anniversary, which was perfect since I'm a week before my due date. I'm just so happy that because we were sealed in the temple all those years ago, I get to continue my happy and blissful marriage for all of eternity instead of for just a lifetime. Plus, I have two (really soon to be three) adorable kids thanks to being married to the love of my love. :)
