Recently (about 4 Saturdays ago) we went with some friends to the International Hot Air Balloon Festival at Chateau D'Oex (pronounced "day"). It was about a 2 hour drive up from rainy, gray Geneva into the mountains of Switzerland and it was a most beautiful and freezing day up there! As soon as we got out of the car James noticed the balloons all over the sky and started babbling very excitedly while pointing so that we would be sure to see.
As if we could have missed them. He also refused to keep his gloves on his little fingers. Brian got all excited when he saw the Lukoil balloon. That is one of the clients he has been working on lots lately. He just had to take a picture.
James was very excited about the balloons and couldn't take his eyes off them (except when he started feeling the cold). Notice the charater balloons in the background. They had parachuters coming down from above as well.
Despite the cold, it was a fun day and we had a great time getting out of the house. See what y'all are missing? 
Notice the amazingly beautiful sky? It was absolutely the most beautiful color of blue with no clouds at all. Perfect for the festival. We wish you could have joined us!

wowzers, we have a balloon festival but it is NOTHING like that, the third picture with Brian and James, so cool!
That is really pretty there, the sky is amazingly blue. I wish I could see that in person, I am sure that was fun to go and do.
Wow, it looks gorgeous! I love hot air balloons and want to ride on one someday. Brian's smart to have a beard when it's so dang cold there! BTW, it's 80 degrees here right now.
You guys are the coolest family. Look at all the fun you have. That's SO rad!
