the countdown begins...

19 more days until the opening weekend of the albuquerque international balloon fiesta - hence the new blog design! mommy and daddy always look forward to the balloon fiesta, but are even more excited this year because they get to take me! i will be going on my first plane ride, visiting family (hi again, grammie and gampa!), meeting my great grandmas for the first time, and spending one very early but very fun morning watching more than 700 hot air balloons ascend the dusky skies. daddy says it is one of the most awesome things he's ever been to. he and mommy use to be part of the chase crew for the ashworth ballooning team (mommy had known them since she was really little). so they're really excited for me to attend my very first fiesta. i can't wait. i'm already thinking about what i want to pack!
