After we left Dunleith, we drove to downtown and joined the hundreds of other people at the festival on the river. It was seriously hot. Like 90 something degrees. In October. They were having a kids fair at the downtown park, but it was crazy expensive to get in, and the lines were terribly long for the rides, so we opted out. And did other fun things instead. Brody and Brooke wiped away the sweat and got their faces painted...
We spread out a quilt right on the bank that overloooks the river, and decided to hang out there to wait for the balloons.
And we waited...And waited...
And waited...
Well, you get the idea....
So, about two hours later we decided we needed to get the kids something to eat. We walked over to this delicious little BBQ place called Pig Out Inn. Yum.
Just as we were walking out of the restaurant, we looked up and saw this!
The balloons were finally there!! We quickly walked the block back to the river and watched the balloons float above us. It was seriously beautiful.
The kids were enthralled. I loved watching them so mesmerized by it.
We watched the balloons for a while longer, then loaded back into the car. Beckett had still not had a nap and Levi was hungry, so we knew it was time to go. We drove by a few more of the antebellum homes that we love to see, then headed out of town. 
We were home by 11:00 that night, and the kids did great on the drive. A fun time was had by all! I am thinking that this little trip just might become tradition. ;)
