We headed to Albuquerque this weekend for the international balloon fiesta they have there every October.  It's was a ton of fun and the girls had their heads on a swivel with all the balloons that were there.  We went Friday morning to one of the 'special shapes' launches.  It's an amazing feeling being in the middle of literally hundreds of ballonists launching their 'birds'.  We also spent the entire next day at the Albuquerque Zoo & Aquarium, another fun field trip. 

If you haven't been to Albuquerque sometime, I'd recommend it and definitely bring the kiddos.  Here's the pics from the weekend:
