Balloons and Babe

It's a three-day weekend for us to celebrate Canberra's 103rd birthday. We had an early morning start on Saturday to catch the hot air balloon festival. The "Up" balloon was one of the special ones. It was neat to watch it all from start to finish. We drove up to the Arboretum afterwards to catch a glimpse of all the balloons in the air. Some had already landed in the valley by the time we up there just before 8am. It was a beautiful morning.

Yesterday was another eventful day. Caught up with family friends at yum cha and a play. Had an afternoon rest followed by a picnic dinner at Commonwealth Park for Symphony in the Park. Babe was on the big screen while the Canberra Symphony played the soundtrack live. It was a very cool experience. We all loved it. I was so thankful that the kids were engaged and enjoying it as much as me and Phil. The storm stayed away and we also caught a beautiful sunset.
