Balloon Festival!

Last year's balloon festival was a bust.  It was chilly and windy and just not that interesting--I don't think a single balloon was up!  This year was much different.  Beautiful blue skies, balloons that just seemed to hang or float in the air.  We even saw some launch and then literally come right back straight down.At one time, we counted well over 20 balloons in the air!  Not to mention, Amara got to play in the Mickey Mouse bounce house, had a lemonade squeeze, and we all shared some fresh mini donuts.  We sat at the grandstand until the launch, then headed to the parking lot to follow some around.  We spotted on while driving that looked like a giant strawberry, and Eric saw some he liked that were black and multi-colored too. 

It was a really great fun evening and the great weekend kickoff!
