The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta




A few weeks ago David and I went the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, it was so much fun. Seriously one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. The Balloons take off from a huge field and you can just stand in their midst as they fill up and take off, it's so cool. Rumor has it that it's the most photographed event in the world, I kind of doubt this considering events such a The Super Bowl and The Olympics, but I will say this, in the three hours we were there I snapped 158 pictures....it's just so incredible!


These bee balloons were by far the "crowd favorites" they take off together and then kiss right before they separate, very talented balloon pilots.This was my favorite, the light house, it has to make the riders dizzy, it just kept spinning and spinning!Here's a few filling up before take off.


It was such a wonderful day we woke up at 5 am and took a shuttle to Balloon Fiesta Park and watched all the balloons take off and then we went and ate a huge breakfast a Denny's (Also, the establishment of our first date! ahhhhh!). It was a perfect day with my perfect guy...I love David so much and I just love these precious moments we get to spend together before the babies arrive!The belly shot!

Good girl. I wanted to see how much the kids have grown. You look great. Cant wait to give those "chillins" a great big hug and kiss.

I love the photo of the belly. Those babies are so lucky to have you as their mommy. New Mexico at it's finest...gorgeous weather!! Rich was just asking about you guys. We think of you all the time. Wish you were here!!

I too am a fan of the belly shot- maybe because I have a belly too! The baloons are beautiful- the colors against the sky are awesome.
By the look of things, you will have to post more belly shots in the next few months to appease your readers!

See I told you your fans needed an update. Look at all your responses so far. You look like a cute pregie! Love the balloons. We had a mini balloon fest here in Amarillo but nothing like yours. Thanks for sharing the pics!

I LOVE the belly shot. My husband takes many, many, MANY pictures of just my belly, which I like better so that I don't have to show how much weight I put on around my face. So excited about the twins!

You have such a cute belly!

Wendy said...

Great belly shot. I love preggers pictures. So glowy and full of life- quite literally.

That looks like so much fun. I want to ride in a hot air balloon so bad, but I would settle momentarily on being at that event. Great pictures.

Another comment on the belly shot - I love it! For some reason, it's always fun to see those of other people, I don't feel quite the same about myself, though!

I love the belly shot best!

Heidi said...

I was just thinking . . . Amanda probably has no clue who this Heidi chick is . . . it's me--Heidi S. from AFG!!!! I think about you all the time (especially when I see The Price Is Right on TV) . . . hope you are fabulous!
