More Balloons

 These were taken on Sunday and Monday.  It was probably a good thing we left on Monday or who knows how many picture there would be.

testing the flame

straightening the balloon

filling up the balloon

more hot air

ready for flight

we were right there as the balloons were filled

so much going on

but the balloons didn't fly that morning

adding the air with a little help from a fan

that night back on our bluff

they had a twinkle glow with a lot more balloons

this was so neat, all these balloons lighting up

we came out Monday and many balloons had already taken off

but there was more yet to come

this time they left the field then came back to play the game

 

the goal is to drop a bean bag on the target

one of the special shapes, there is a tail on the back side

we heard later one balloon landed on route 40

one basket caught on fire

one balloon ran in to the electric wire

at least three balloons were stolen
