Balloon Classic

We spent Labor Day weekend relaxing at home, catching up on projects and spending time with family. Two different days we went to the Balloon Classic that is held here every Labor Day weekend. Saturday morning, we got up early to watch the balloon launch.


Jarad and I- very early in the morning


Here goes the balloons- there were so many that just kept popping up.


There are almost all blown up and ready to launch.


It is the coolest sight to see tons of hot air balloons just floating off!


They launch at a park that has a large lake and some of the balloons try to touch down in the lake.


The Energizer Bunny Balloon- one of the biggest hot air balloons ever made!

Then Sunday night- we went back to the park to watch "The Glow." That's when alot of the balloons get blown up and then they light them up many times.


Jarad and I- so much fun when we're together!


It is so cool to see all the balloons lit up!


Isn't he so handsome?!!


This balloon was blown up right behind us and I was able to get a good shot of them lighting it up.

Cool- I didn't know they ever did things at night with hot air balloons.
