The Great Reno Balloon Races 2015


 Sierra, Summer and I went to the Great Reno Balloon Races on Saturday.  One of my favorite events in Reno.  The catch is we got up at 3:30am to go!  But, as you can see from the photos, it is worth it. :)
They have a Glow Show and Dawn Patrol at 5:15am.

 Then as the sun starts to rise - they have the national anthem.  

 This year, the bummer was the clouds and smoke from the wildfires.  The balloons didn't pop against the blue skies like normally.  But still very beautiful!



 I love the checkered balloon with the Reno skyline to the left.



Also love this one...Mount Rose to the right and Slide Mountain to the left.  These are the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  And the smoke.  LOL!


 After the balloons, we made a stop at Wal-Mart and then home for some coffee and cinnamon rolls.  I did a little computer work and then left again at 10:30am for practice and two softball games back to back.  It was amazingly warm!  LOL!  
When we got home, I went to the church to tidy up from the installation of the FH doors and steam clean the front lobby carpet.  Then take some teens with Addie to a bonfire at the youth director's home.  Between getting up early and the heat...I was wiped out.


Like this.  Wiped out. :)



Ready for church!  That was Saturday!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
