We're having a bit of a relaxing weekend this week. We had our normal 3-day weekend to celebrate Labor Day but then got an additional day off from school for a teacher workday. Gotta admit that when you have that many relaxing days, you lose track of what day it is!! Today's Wednesday, right?!
Colorado Springs has a balloon festival over Labor Day so that's always
fun to go to the various events of the weekend. There is a pancake
breakfast that the city's firefighters put on, and then the lift-off of
the balloons on Saturday morning (usually miss that one ... the 4:00 AM
wake-up is too early for this girl! My picture here was snagged from my friend Denise's FB page ... she's a better mom than me and hoists her behind out of bed to take her kids while I slumber! Wonder if she'll take MY kids next year. Kidding!)
My FAVORITE event of the weekend is the
balloon glow at night. It is gorgeous! This is a picture from last
year because we had planned to go Sunday but it was cancelled because of
all the rain we had this weekend. Booo!
But the point of this post is to talk about the challenge over at
