...before our lives get serious again.
It was great!
My hubs and I got to spend a little time alone, seeing an Alison Krauss concert at Red Rocks and just generally messing around for a couple of days. It was much needed time together!
We also went to a Hot Air Balloon Festival in Colorado Springs. This event is the only time of the year that I am actually functioning and dressed at 5:30 in the morning. The event started at 7:00 AM so it has to be that way. Lots of coffee got me through.
We could only talk one of our kids into going with us. Apparently my kids get the distaste of all things "early-morning" from me.
Hot-air balloon events are so full of fun color and pattern.
It's really amazing to me that people actually get into these contraptions. There is no motor or steering wheel, just wind and hot-air to guide the balloonists where they want to go. The baskets are so tiny and it just freaks me out to think of being up in the air in one.
We completely enjoyed the weekend and then spent Monday cleaning and just generally getting ready for school to start this week. My boys will be attending a Classical Christian School for some of their classes while doing some at home, and Aubry will be doing homeschool with me.
I am ready for a routine again. All of our summer free-time seemed to be losing it's charm lately and the thought of having time slots for things is relieving. It's funny how we change with the seasons, isn't it?
Have a lovely Tuesday!
