There are two daily launches of the balloons. 6:30 am, and 6:30 pm. We did not want to be dealing with the insane heat and over crowded 6:30 pm launch. So we got there at about 6:10, paid our (each) entry fee, and headed to the balloons.

We just got to the festival around 6am or so and the balloons are already filling up |
|
I want to steal this blimp! |
We got there just in time to hear the announcement that they were not going to be launching. The cloud ceiling was too low, and the visibility was not far enough. But at least many of them still filled, but up so we could see what they look like up close.

The birthday cake balloon was HUGE |
|
Its tough to see here, but there are cinnamon sticks pocking out of the balloon |
|
Fire! |

The balloons were a bust. So we headed to the tents full of food and fun. Well.. we think they were full of food and fun. Too bad 90% of them were closed.

Eww :) |
