Balloons

This weekend was Hudson's hot air balloon festival. On Saturday morning we got all bundled up, and headed to the launch site, but the balloons didn't launch. One of the balloonist did fill his balloon & tether it, which the kids enjoyed. After checking out the balloon, we hit the play ground for a while. Later that day the balloons did launch, which was a lot of fun for the kids to see. Andrew remembered going to the festival last year, and also remembered some of the balloons. It was fun to have him ask where certain balloons were.

Here they are in the morning checking out the balloon that tethered as it was filling.

Only a few of the balloons that launched (this was maybe a 1/4 of them):

Here's a picture of Andrew & Jenna's favorite balloon:

After watching all those balloons go up we hit the play ground again:

Later that night they did a moon glow - here's a picture of one of balloons:

We had a good weekend, and enjoyed spending so much time outside. We were glad that the weather was good this year, and that the ballons were able to launch. Overall it was a fun way to spend a Saturday.
