Every year Surprise has a surprise party. This year someone told me that the night before is called Glow and they have Hot Air Balloons lining the street and when it is dark they all blow their torches and light up. They also have a tree lighting and sky divers. I thought this sounded like a tone of fun and the kids would like it, so off we went. we stopped at Sonic for dinner off the dollar menu and got to the park minutes before the balloons started filling up.
Aiden especially liked the spider man balloon.
We got a great place to watch the sky divers land, so we sat for about an hour and a half. It was super cold!
We were freezing, but we were very close to one of the balloons so the kids would get close so that when he blew his torch they could get some warmth.
We got some cotton candy and kids enjoyed that.
Aiden got it all over his hands.
It was hard to get a picture of the divers, they were coming in pretty fast. They were supposed to land in the lights on the grass, but they pretty much overshot it. The last one almost landed in the crowd.
When it was all over we zipped Aiden into Chad's jacket (wish we had thought of it sooner) and walked back to the car. The kids were so impressed with he balloons and the sky divers, they had a great time. As soon as were back in the car with the heater blasting they thought it was a great evening.
We stopped at the store on the way home for some marshmallows and doughnuts and came for hot chocolate.

What a wonderful evening...
looks so fun! is it just me, or is the christmas tree on that mug the same one that is on those pillow cases we gave you...
That was a SUPER cold night. We had Matthew's birthday outdoors that night and it was FREEZING. The poor kids all had red noses and were anxious to get out of the cold.
My kids loved that last year, I'm not sure why we didn't go this year. I love the picture of Chad and Aiden, hillarious.
