Saturday evening Eric took off to meet up with his friends for James Pitts' bachelor party, so the kids and I had a date night and headed out to Mission Farms for the Balloon Glow to benefit the Make a Wish foundation. We had spotted two hot air balloons in the sky last week near our house, so I thought this would be something fun for them, plus the money goes to a great cause!
Balloons before dusk.....
....and after.....
I thought the balloons would eventually take off up into the air, but they never did, at least not while we were there. So every time they blew the flame to keep the balloons inflated, Madison would get scared and was clinging to me. Kaiden, however, loved it. So we found a reasonable distance for both and was able to stay for about an hour to watch. 
We got some glow sticks, there was a live band, and we also got some popcorn before we left.
The kids were very well behaved, Madison even said, "thank you Mom" when we got in the car to leave, so I decided to treat us all to some custard from Sheridan's on our way home.
Mmm, mmm, good!
She didn't want to miss a bite, so she had two spoons!
