A Saturday.

4:00am The Deen house is awake and moving. On purpose? Yes. Practicing for Silas? No. We're getting ready for the Plano Balloon Festival's morning glow.

5:00am We're dressed and ready. Well, as ready as we're going to be.

5:15am Stop at Wal-Mart to pick up soccer mom chairs.

6:00am Arrive at the festival.

6:30am Set up camp and wait for the sun to rise.

7:00am Tom found donuts and coffee.

7:30am Finally, some action.



8:15am Security opened the flood gates for the crowd to enter and explore.

[Micah's favorite balloon]

8:30am Micah was the first kid to fire a 15 foot flame into the balloon. He liked it, but it scared him a bit.

Due to the weather we didn't get to see any of the balloons actually take off, but it was still a fun experience.

[Excuse the nappy hair and refer to the comment above about waking up at 4am.]

11:30am We were all relaxing on the couch watching Vandy beat Ole Miss until we passed out.
