Hot Air

Our Friday(9/11) evening was of a much lighter substance as we went with friends to the Huff-n-Puff Festival. The kids enjoyed watching the balloons fill with fanned-in air, the baskets tipped up to then fill the balloon with HOT air, and then launch into the setting sun. Last year we were rained on and only got to see the food vendors closing up their stands. This was a beautiful evening.

Brayton intently watched the balloons while his sisters tried to run right up and touch them.

I love these two guys!
Abbie ended up in the stroller by the end of the evening. She wore herself out running from balloon to balloon.


At dusk we were able to see the entire balloon light up like a lightbulb from the flames. It was a neat sight!

Is that Maddie with much shorter hair in the blue shorts? I think it is but didn't see any shots of her face.
Glad you had a nice afternoon watching the balloons. What a neat activity and I'm glad you got to all go.
