Findlay Balloon Festival

Friday we took the boys to the Findlay balloon festival. After a few mishaps driving around Findlay, we arrived just as the balloons were taking to the air. Ben thought it was pretty cool and I was able to get a lot of great pictures that I hope to frame for the boys' room.

These were new to us this year - two bees, a boy and a girl. The girl bee took off, but the boy bee never left the ground







 Then daddy got Ben a blue snowball. Yeah, that was a spectacular mess.


 Then the balloons came back to the field for a glow. I have to say, this balloon festival is pretty awesome. The announcer guy was saying how other city's they go to charge as much as $25 a person or $15 a car. Findlay has some really good corporate sponsors so this is all free. They even had a movie - Toy Story 3 - playing on a giant screen after the balloon glow for the kids. They have even more stuff on Saturday, but we have yet to undertake a Saturday trip. Maybe next year





 The glow is really best shown in video.
