Up, Up, and Away

Last weekend started with an early morning rise to catch the Plano Balloon Festival. And though we didn't see any balloons in the morning, we enjoyed the grub, the sunrise, and hanging out with family.


After a short jaunt to a farm where Merritt was mesmerized by the pheasants and the kids gave an impromptu dance performance, we ate Greek.


Later, we gave the balloons a chance to redeem themselves and that they sure did. The wind wasn't strong enough to really carry them (thus the problem in the morning) and so this star balloon landed right beside us. It was really cool!


Later, we celebrated Phillip's birthday with cake and the UT game. Happy Birthday, Phillip!
