We took a trip last week to New Mexico for the Balloon Fiesta & it was so much fun! The kids have been looking forward to this trip for months now & were so excited to see all of the hot air balloons. We spent most of the first day driving in the car, so once we arrived we stopped off at the zoo to let the kids run around & enjoy the beautiful weather. Maybe it was being cooped up in the car for so long, or maybe it was that we were giddy about cooler weather, but the afternoon we spent there was such a good one. The kids wanted to stay for hours & it was so nice to have totally uninterrupted family time. Being outdoors together as a family is definitely when we're all the happiest.
On day two we headed to the Balloon Fiesta & it did not disappoint! So many hot air balloons everywhere! And the weather could not have been more perfect. It took a little while to coax the children out of the stroller where they were all bundled up, but after a little while they came out. Albuquerque has the biggest international balloon festival & it's something you have to see in person to understand just how big it is.
And then we headed to the temple so the kids could see what the New Mexico temple looked like. It was closed so we had the grounds all to ourselves & the kids loved running around & playing hide & go seek. I love how much Ruby & Noah love the temple already.
