Ballet Girl

Finley has really been loving dance class this year, she especially likes to sing while she dances.  She had me take about a dozen videos this evening of her dancing skills.  And singing skills.

Snowmass Balloon Festival

Finley and I tried to watch the balloon races on Friday morning, but they were rained out.  We settled for cinnamon rolls in Basalt instead.  On Saturday morning the balloons were once again rained out, so we headed out to Maroon Bells to see a moose!  Saturday night we went up to Snowmass to see the Balloon Glow and it was quite a disappointment, so none of us were super excited for this morning's balloon event.  It turned out to be an amazing event and the weather was perfect for the few hours the balloons were up in the air.  It began to rain again after the balloons had all touched down.  It was amazing to see all the balloons taking off and floating around in the sky.

Moose!

We were supposed to see the Snowmass Balloon Festival this morning, but it was rained out.  So we decided to head up to Maroon Bells since Clifton had heard that the leaves had started to change up there (they really hadn't!)  As we walked along the path, a man in front of us pointed up the hill...it was a moose!  He ended up sticking around for quite awhile and we saw him walk all around the lake, even stopping for a drink.  He got real close to us, he wasn't scared at all.  I was!  We also saw a small rock slide at the top of the mountain.  On the drive home we saw a deer scamper across the road. Hopefully the weather clears so we can see the balloon glow this evening.
