Sandy Balloon Fest

August 10, 2013

Every year Sandy does a Hot Air Balloon Fest.  Balloons go up in the air Friday and Saturday mornings.  They are go up at a park very close to our house.  It is amazing to see so many hot air balloons up in the air so close to our house.  Some years they have even been right above our house and we could wave and yell hi to the people in the baskets.  They have landed across the street from us and other places nearby.  It is really cool.

 Then on the last night they do a Balloon Glow.  Unfortunately, this has not had so much success.  The weather has to be absolutely perfect.  Sadly,  their track record is probably 1 every 3 years of getting all the balloons up and lit.  Last night we were able to see 2 balloons get filled up before it got too windy.  The kids still thought it was cool and it was a nice night out with our family.
