Balloon Festival Labor Day Weekend 2008











We went to the Ballon Classic again this year. This is an event that is held every Labor Day Weekend. They let the balloons off on Sat., Sun., and Mon. mornings of Labor Day weekend. On Saturday and Sunday nights, they tether the balloons the to ground and "glo" them. It is so neat. We get up at about 5 in the morning and go see them let off, come home eat, and take a nap. We hang out during the day and will go back this evening. I am hoping that the weather holds out and is as beautiful as it was this morning. I will put those pics up weather permitting tonight or tomorrow morning. Dale and I might go back in the morning to get more pics. I want to get closer to the nearby lake that is at the park to get more pics. It is really cool because the balloons "splash and dash" on the lake. The bring the baskets down and touch the wather on the lake for a second and then take off again. We will see how that goes in the morning though. If they are able to do all the events of the weekend, it will be the first time in several years that all the events have been totally completed. It seems like every year they have to cancel a lift off or a "glo". The girls absolutely love going to this and it is one of the few times a year I can get them out of bed super early and not hear any complaints about it. I hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day Weekend. Love you all and miss you bunches.
