So this year we wanted to go to the Ballunar Festival out at NASA. We went when Zachary was just walking so it's been a while. Part of the festival is that NASA is open from 9-4pm. So we were able to see other sections that we haven't been able to see during other visits such as the Mission Control Room & etc. It was quite windy outside so that stopped/delayed some of the air activities planned, but still was able to see a lot.

 |

 |
| Clowning around.. |
 |
| Lucas and his Nana |
 |
| Finally some hot air balloons... |
 |
| Flame up! |
 |
| A few more.. |
 |
| After a few of them did a flame up he got a bit scared |
 |
| And there they go.. |
 |
| Really neat to see them right up close...I think at our last count there was atleast 30. |
It was a great time. Not something we will go to every year since it's so far away, but each time we go there is always something else new.
