Some scenes from my weekend:
I just can’t explain how much I love balloons. I lived a good chunk of my childhood in Statesville, North Carolina, where they have the most amazing balloon rally. We’d park away from where they’d be launched at and I remember how magical it seemed when all of a sudden, hundreds of balloons would rise up from behind the tree line. Unfortunatly, this balloon festival wasn’t quite as impressive as those, but to me, it was still wonderful.
Wonderful pictures! Balloons fly over our house quite often and the kids and I run out to wave. On really still days we can hear the folks in the basket shouting to us!
Cool, you were at the Howell Balloon Fest! I was working at the farmers’ market then and got a commemorative balloon pin from the mayors office. But I didn’t get to go see the balloons, too much work to do.
