Balloon Fiesta!

Alrighty! Another NM Bucket List Goal done! For those of you who are following, I will be updated my list as I go along. I'll link every time to the original list!

This week was Balloon Fiesta. Since it's been years I decided that I needed to go. Several years ago my family had gone to the balloon fiesta and I joined a chase crew for a balloon owned by one of my dad's co-workers. After talking with A-mo, who told me she had always wanted to go on a balloon ride, I decided to see if my dad could get me in touch with his co-worker.

I reached her and we all decided that this past Wednesday would be the best possible day for us to be able to ride! I was so thrilled, what a perfect way to spend my last year at balloon fiesta!

Unfortunately when the time finally came things didn't work out. The weather had been too bad several days before and they weren't able to fly. Which meant all of their sponsors got bumped to the day we were supposed to fly. While I was disappointed, it didn't ruin the day. I had a fantastic time just wandering around the park with A-Mo. It made me realize that while I'm getting anxious for my move, there's still a lot NM has to offer. It's been my home my whole life, I shouldn't discredit it so quickly. I'm super excited to explore the rest of my bucket list. I have a feeling it'll make me appreciate this place a lot more.



And we ended the morning by going to the Range and getting some Huevos Rancheros! Given that this day was part of my NM Bucket List I decided I had to go with Christmas!

Haunted corn maze is next!
