Balloon Show

This past weekend Hannah and I went to the annual Balloon show here. It is so amazing to me every time.

Saturday evening we went to what is called the Balloon Glow. They have all the Balloons out and they shoot the flame in them all at once, after a big count down, and it lights up the field. It is really fun to see. It was cold that night, but as we were walking through the Balloons, it was hot!! You forgot how chilly it was until you walked to the edge of the Balloons.

This is Chuggles!! She is Hannah's favorite Balloon(3 years running now). She is the Dean's Milk cow. Actually she is the favorite of ALL the children there. I think that picture of her last year is better. There were a lot of people there this year.

ok, these aren't in order...but Friday morning we got up and went at 7:30am to the race. It is the big kick off to the weekend. It was really cool to watch. All the pilots wait until the Dean's Milk Balloon lifts off the ground and then they all blow up and take off. It all takes place in about 20 minutes and then everyone leaves. I waited longer in line to leave!!

If you look, there is a Tree Balloon in the background. They fly that Balloon up each year from Brazil!! It is HUGE...even bigger than Chuggles.

If you look at the top, you can see the side of Sugar Bear.

Hannah was obsessed with this Dog!! She kept holding his hand, and when we left she pulled his tail.

This a cute movie of Hannah at the show Saturday evening. Just click on the arrow to play it. I don't know why it isn't showing up!!
