We decided to go to our first balloon festival last weekend. The fest was in Peoria and was a fundraising event for the Children's Hospital, so we knew it was a great cause to support. Keegan had a great time, despite the fact that we were only able to see 1 balloon actually up. The weather didn't cooperate that day so they were extremely delayed on bringing the balloons in and getting them off the trucks. By the time we finally left at 7:45 p.m. they were getting 1 ready for a tethered ride and had 1 more off the truck, but that was it that we could see. Hopefully, the rest showed up quickly or I'm sure there were a lot of very disappointed spectators that night!
Fun on the Run brought some of their inflatables - for $5 Keegan had unlimited access to all of them - he loved it!!

The "rainbow slide" as he called it, was his absolute favorite!! As soon as he'd get off of it, he'd ask to go again. He had countless turns on it and started getting "fancy" with his landings.
We finally convinced Keegan to check out some of the other inflatables - he liked it, but it couldn't compare to the rainbow slide!
The one and only balloon we got to see on our way to the car. It was neat to watch them work to get it blown up and steady. I would've loved to have taken a ride in one - maybe someday!!
There was a slight wind which made it more difficult to work with the balloons (at least this is what we were told - I know nothing about them! :)
Daddy took Keegan on his first Monster Truck Ride - Keegan was sooo excited!!
He was obviously delirious with joy since he actually cooperated for a picture! :)
The truck drove around a big field in circles and did some turns and other stuff that I don't know the names of - sorry Dean! :)
The truck was definitely called a Monster Truck for a reason!
