We Went Walkin' Way Down To Weno Nevada

We thought our trip with Liko and family to the balloon races in Reno would mean Willy Was a Whale would be the road trip song of choice, but instead the boys discovered Yellow Submarine, which seems rather appropriate since the giant inflating balloons kind of had a 60's bubble-like animation to it.

We packed up the Big Car ( a seriously giant minivan that we all shamefully fell in love with) on Friday morning, gave Grandma and her caregiver a big hug and we went off to see the Big Balloons and indulged in a little vacation away from being caregivers ourselves. It was amazing, as you can see below. Ezra was both intrigued and freaked out about the hundreds of giant, brightly colored, firey, loud balloons that floated up to the sky with people attached in a little basket.

















Ezra and Liko are still reenacting going up in a balloon. Liko's favorite was the eagle shaped balloon while Ezra's was the strawberry.

The boys had a blast as did the adults. Thanks Liko and family for inviting us along!
