"Antoher great family trip"

Yet another Family Fun Fest was to the Balloon Festival. We all had a fantastic time at the balloon glow. It was amazing to see tons and tons of huge balloons up close. As the sun set and they all lit up, we were in awe. We also enjoyed the morning race where they each tried to land on a specific site. The kids and grown-ups really enjoyed this trip.

"Amazing sight"

I'm a sucker for a local festivals, but this one takes the cake. Hundreds of hot air balloons in the air overhead are a sight to behold. If you feel like really experiencing it, you can take a balloon ride for a fee. There are a few games for the kids and the standard festival fare, but the focus of the events is pretty much on the balloons, so if you have a young one, its good to bring a blanket and a few toys/books in case you need to do some entertaining while you wait.
