We made the drive to Claremore this weekend for their annual Gateway Balloon Festival. Unfortunately, the high winds made most of the balloons unable to ascend, so the girls jumped on the inflatables and rode rides instead. They also had their first pony riding experience. Daddy and Mommy were both surprised that they were not afraid of the ponies, but instead wanted to ride again. Abigail, true to form, talked the whole time she rode. Whereas, Emily relaxed a little more and enjoyed herself quietly.
Emily helping Abigail off the obstacle course. They went through this about a hundred times each. They (especially Abigail) LOVED it.
One balloon made a valiant effort to inflate and made it a short time in the winds, so we did get to see that and the baskets shots large flames into the air at dusk. This was very interesting, but Abigail related the fire to fireworks and decided she did not like this spectacle. Emily watched enthusiastically while Abigail looked away.
