Balloon Fiesta 2010 in Albuquerque

Our first balloons for Balloon Fiesta.
Eating dinner on the lawn
The live band Emma danced to in the video below.
Making a silly face at Daddy... something she's very good at. Sitting on the grass in front of a big stage with a live band.
Go American pride!!
Emma and Daddy in front of the huge Rooster. I think she was a little nervous, he was moving around quite a bit and we were very close.
Same picture as below but you can actually see the balloons. Beautiful sunset and a glowing balloon. Emma really liked the heart shaped balloon.
Watching a chase crew pull out a huge balloon from a small bag.
Some of the beautiful colors on display.
One of the few balloons we got to see "glow" due to the scary thunder storm that took over the sky.
Our cute little Emma bug
Nice lady offered to take our picture, thank you nice lady!
One of my favorite balloons because it's so colorful and fun.
The beautiful night sky before turning into a nasty storm cloud.
This family of bees consisting of Mommy, baby, and Daddy Bee are balloon fiesta favorites. They show up every year, and when they finally went up the entire crowd cheered. We're talking hundreds of thousands of people, folks. I teared up a bit...yes, I'm a softy.
One of many fireworks of the evening. We decided to tough out the little rainstorm to see the fireworks. Lucky for us it stopped raining and most of the people had already left. We got to see fireworks and missed the mass exodus... perfect!
