This weekend Michael and I went to the Balloon and Music Festival. He was pretty excited to go. There were carnival rides, monster trucks, music and of course hot air balloons. Well, the balloons never went up in the sky- which was a big disappointment. The thing is no one knew and we all sat there for an hour watching them fill up. At that point (8:00pm) Michael wanted out of there. I don't blame him. I was ready too. Then it took us 30 min to find the car in the parking lot-lol. Michael handled THAT very well- almost better than me. 
Usually when we go to a carnival we arrive just when the gates open. There are no lines. We weren't so lucky at the festival. At one point, there was a 20-30 wait for each ride. It was about 85* with no shade and people everywhere.
Here are some pictures of Michael and his mini-meltdown. Honestly, I didn't blame him. It was a difficult situation. After that we left the ride area and went and found some friends. Then we watched the balloons fill up.
When we first arrived, there were monster trucks and motorcycles doing tricks. Michael couldn't even care less. He made a b-line for the rides. Michael did play in the fire trucks. There was a cute moment when he jumped into a truck with another little boy and put on a hat.
Honestly, I don't think we'll go next year if they have it. There wasn't much for Michael other than carnival rides and we can just go to a local carnival for that. But, I was glad that we spent 6 hours there together. We have a lot planned for the next three weeks and then school starts up again (thank god). Tomorrow night- Yankee Game!!!!!!!
