7-27-13 Hot Air Balloon Festival and a visit from my folks

At the last minute my folks decide to venture North.  It was their anniversary and through work I got tickets for the Hot Air Balloon Festival and Crafts.

We sat and watched as the set up to launch the balloons.  Due to winds which would have dumped them into the lake they could only inflate, not take off.

It was crowded with people and balloons.

Remax had been floating around all week and it was the first to inflate.

Right in front of us was a huge clown ballon.

The progression

It was pretty fun to watch but by the time we left I was glad for it.  An awesome weekend...
