There is an annual balloon festival held about 1 1/2 hours north of us. We went up to it probably 15+ years ago with the older kids, and Steve REALLY wanted to take the younger ones up this year. I will admit that since it was supposed to be hot and humid with a pretty good chance of thundershowers, I didn't really want to go. But we did go and although it was definitely hot and humid, we had a great time and are so glad that daddy "made us" go. Here are some of the great scenes we enjoyed.
There were tons of booths giving out free food and merchandise. We snapped this photo in front of the yogurt booth.
The inflation begins
Some of the first ones up
Check out Darth Vader.....pretty cool
Can you find the smiley face and the strawberry?
Such a beautiful sight
This one shows the fire heating up the air inside the balloon
Megan and Steve enjoying the view
Old Glory against an amazing sky
I guess it was T-Rex's birthday
Here is just a sampling of our free loot. We had already eaten quite a bit of it...crazy!!!
Thanks for taking us, Dad!!!
So fun! That is a crazy amount of free stuff! I'm assuming it was just like vendors giving out the stuff, but I didn't know they did that there! Very cool balloons. I think Jimmie would have especially liked the Pepsi and Darth Vader ones.
ReplyDeleteThat is crazy! I can't believe they were giving away that much stuff! And yes, I love the darth vader one and the pic of meg and dad.
