Day 187 – Hot Air Balloon Festival

For today’s intention – mom, Vinny and I headed over to the Hot Air Balloon Festival. There was a small fair area on one side, tons of vendors selling all kinds of random items and a long line of food, snacks, drinks and desserts.

We hung out for a bit looking and shopping around at all the vendors’ items, we stopped for fried dough and listened to a really talented band for a while too. Then we saw that they were starting to inflate the humongous hot air balloons. We made our way to where the crowds were rapidly getting larger. Although it was a bit of a timely process, we watched as they inflated the balloons at dusk. We were able to chat a bit with the people around us and just enjoy the beautiful air, music in the background and wonderful sights. As it got darker, the large bright burst of flames beautifully illuminated the decorative balloons. They went up in the air but stayed tethered.

We went out for a late dinner afterwards and talked about how nice the festival was and how glad we were that we went. This was a fun intention- Happy Friday!!
