Hot air balloons!

This weekend is the annual Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival which takes place in Gatineau, Quebec (just across the river, about a 10 minute drive). We haven't been in years because it's not exactly toddler friendly but I guess this year our house is on the edge of the flight path! Between about 6:30 and 7:30 more than 60 hot air balloons flew over my house and just west of my house. One even landed unexpectedly in the park by our house (the babes and I of course went to investigate, the boys spent the entire time glued to their computers playing their stupid video games)

A few pictures...
