National Balloon Classic 01






Natalie, Jasper, cousin Sydney Wilder and I went last Saturday, Aug. 1 to the National Balloon Classic in Indianola. We had a great time, although for as sunny as it was there was a little chill out on the balloon field. The wind threatened the first flight of the Classic, but after a short delay they all took to the skies - dozens of bright colored balloons. It was very peaceful.

A highlight was the train, which Nat, J and Syd rode. But they all agreed it wasn't as good as Grandpa Paul's!

We also had a nice catered dinner courtesy of the Indianola Record-Herald's sponsorship of the event, and even got a little ice cream on our way home.

Syd stayed the night after after that we went out to grandpa Paul and grandma Debbie's house to play around. Had a great lunch and some of the best sweetcorn we've had so far this summer.

Great weekend!

Some of my dad's sweet corn? It was pretty delish. I've been eating so much sweet corn lately that I think I'm getting corned out. Dad says there is way to much sweet corn left, so anyone who wants some better come and get it. I know they would love it if you came and picked more.
