Hot Air Balloon Festival

Sunday morning we got up before light and headed to Memorial Park in downtown CSprings. Texas Tourism had an exhibit that included a virtual kayak ride. The kids gave it a try.



As it got light the only balloon up was Wells Fargo.


The first two balloons inflated were Arky and The Bunny...b/c they are outrageously big.






The bunny is beginning to be cold-inflated.










The pilots got the "weather okay" and Arky ascended!

Others quickly followed suit.

Drew's favorite and my favorite.

Jack's favorite balloon/


Andy's favorite balloon...the blue one with the boy reaching for the stars.






Madi's favorite balloon ascending.



















We watch Wipeout and the kids love the BIG BALLS. Jack is standing on the "big ball".








Random guy ona very high bike.
