We took sandwiches and had a picnic and watched the balloons get set up. My only criticism of the event is that they should have had a perimeter set up around the balloons. Everyone wanted to get as close as possible and we ended up moving back 4 times before we were set.
Once the balloons started airing up they took off very quickly. We were surprised how quickly they took off.
Can you tell that neither of them wanted to take their eyes off the balloons and look at me? :)
I took a ton of balloon pics and these are just a few of my favs.
As the balloons took off, Karsten kept saying "oooooo" - it was so cute! I don't know if he heard other people doing that or if it was just instinct.
Occasionally he would point at a balloon to make sure we saw it too!
Everyone would clap each time one of the balloons would take flight.
A nice backdrop for a pic of my guys. Too bad Karsten didn't want to look at the camera!
a family pic!
"Oooooooo"
Buh bye balloons!
Another attempt at a family picture...good try, right? :)
I love this one...
After the first group of balloons took off we had about an hour and a half to kill before the balloons would 'glow'. A second group of balloonists came in and set up to do the glow. Karsten had a good time pulling grass and bringing it to me, watching people and playing with the bungee chords we used to keep the chairs wrapped up.
We even had time to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
He was looking in the direction of the camera this time, but no smile. I'll take it! :)
Watching the second round of balloons get set up to glow!
The glow was so cool! I'm glad we went and I can't wait for this event next year!
This was the view of the glow from where we were parked - loved it! I had to stop myself from taking picture after picture because it was so cool!
