During the last weekend in August we returned to our festival going ways and actually headed to two festivals. Friday evening we made the drive to Lincoln, Illinois for the Lincoln Balloon Festival. The Balloon Fest is one our our family's favorite festivals. We love to watch the balloon launch in the early evening and the balloon glow at sunset. Derek's mom came up this year for the balloon fest because we have talked about how awesome it is for years, so she wanted to experience it for herself. She really enjoyed seeing the balloons and said she's coming back next year.

We also went to the Sweet Corn Festival in Normal on Saturday. It is another one of our favorites. We do have a long list of favorite festivals! We went to uptown Normal to eat a few ears of corn and browse the arts and crafts booths that lined the streets. Addy and Carter each had an ear of corn and loved it. It was a pretty warm day, so we didn't stay downtown for long, but we enjoyed every minute of it. As the fall season rolls around we look forward to our typical run of area festivals. It is something we love to do as a family and as the fall weather starts to show itself we begin to get festival fever!
