Sandy Balloon Festival

On Saturday we all went to the annual Sandy Balloon Festival. We had to get up really early because the hot air balloons can only be filled when it is cool outside, which happens before 6 am at this time of year.

William was still a little sleepy eyed at first, but once he saw the huge balloons he perked up.


They had about a dozen hot air balloons all stuffed into a little park.


William liked the pig balloon.


The weird thing was that they didn't even go up in the balloons. They just inflated them on the ground and then took them down after about an hour. We weren't sure if this was what they had intended or if the weather had not been right, but it was weird.
Since it was a balloon festival they had free balloons for the kids. Will got a purple one.
I was showing him how you can see through the balloon and I got this picture.
