Hot Air Balloon Festival

There was a hot air balloon festival just down the road from our house. I know, so fun, right?
Can you spot all 6 balloons in this picture?


All 10 balloons took off five times over the course of the weekend. We got to see them twice. The first time we could see them from our front yard. It was beautiful! The second time they were supposed to take off in the evening right around dinner time. But the whole thing was delayed by rain clouds, so it was almost dark when they finally floated away. That's why the pictures aren't that great.

It was really amazing!! A fun experience for the kids and for Ryan and I too!

You could see them from our deck too. But you had a much closer view!

That looks so amazing. There is just something so beautiful about hot air balloons and their brilliant colors and the way they move. Looks like lots of fun, wish we could have been there.
