Hot Air Balloon Festival and Pumpkin Patch

One of the greatest things about living here in Texas is being near Jenn's family. It seems like to we do something with them at least every week. She has a great family so we have a great time. Our latest two adventures were also classified: a great time. Plano, a town east of us 15 miles, host a balloon festival every year. Jenn suggested we go. We decided not to go into the festival but to follow the balloons around as they flew. We met up with her parents and nephew William.

We found a spot to park and then watched as they floated by. To our great surprise one of the balloons appeared behind us and decided to land right next to where we had parked.

We were able to get right up next to it and see it up close.

...and then we went and got ice cream.

Two weeks ago we also spent Family Home Evening at the Pumpkin Patch. Jennifer's sister Jaime and her husband Kevin were up from Houston, actually passing through. It was nice to be outside in the evening time. Usually that time of night we're relaxing after both getting home from work. I love being outside though. Especially as the weather improves.
