Adventures of Alex

I guess it is a tradition in our family now....when you turn 8, you get to go on a hot air balloon ride. Alex has been waiting for the day since Andy took Madison on her ride 3 years ago. His 8th birthday is Wednesday. So, this was his present--and this time I got to go too! We went over St. George....it was such a treat to share it with my Alex Boy!

Getting ready for take-off

He just giggled as we took off. It was awesome!

Our shadow on the cliffs

The houses that we flew over were AMAZING! I felt like we were spying. :)

The flames heating the air

Our minivan below....with Andy and the other 3 kiddos.

Andy took these from below.


Back on the ground! Notice the rode right behind us. You just land where you can!
Happy Birthday Buddy!
We also enjoyed the weekend by swimming, eating out, shopping, and watching "The Little Mermaid" at Tucahan. It was a fantastic production of that musical! I highly recommend it!
