finally!. . . the bit about last weekend's balloon fiesta!



well, i just did a very brief raid of my room . . . my desk looked like a media library vomited all over it. jared and i went to the glow balloon thing friday night. . . it was slightly disappointing at first. there were only 7 balloons up and glowing, and by the time we chose and stood in line for our food, paid for it and found a place to sit and eat, 3 of the balloons were on their way down. the fireworks also started out a little slow. jared was trying to be optimistic, but i was thinking about how lame the evening was turning out to be. then, we were duped. just as we were both expressing disgust at the lame ending to the fireworks, there was a second short but close firework show to our left. . . it was a continuous spray of colors and smoke. . . . fantastic, then the main firework display picked up and finished with large, bright, and noisy blasts. . . . as we were getting ready to leave, we had one more adventure in front of us, our dessert. we had predetermined that we were going to try a fried something from the fried what? stand. he ordered fried cheesecake, and i grabbed a fried snickers. even before we were able to try them out, one group of people surrounded us asking what we got, and how it was. so we took a bite. surprisingly good. i enjoyed the snickers more than the cheesecake, but jared, who really enjoys cheesecake said there was little that could make cheesecake better, but being fried qualified.
