Hot Air Balloon Festival

Every year our town has a big Hot Air Balloon Festival put on by our Fire Department. This year, like last year, the Cub Scouts had a booth and we sold Trail's End Popcorn. Poor Shaun, since he is the Popcorn Kernel, of the Pack was there ALL weekend. Christopher worked pretty much the whole weekend, but he did have an opportunity to walk around, eat yummy snacks, socialize with friends, and even ride a tethered Hot Air Balloon with some of his fellow scouts! (I've got to get the pictures from a friend.)

We saw some beautiful balloons glow on Friday Night....We watched an awesome fireworks display... Thanks PFD!!
Then we were exhausted!!!!The next day was more of the same...
We saw some beautiful balloons...


We met Linda McMahon, who is the Republican Candidate for Senate. She's running against Richard Blumenthal and it's been all over the National news... Should be an interesting election...

We also saw a scary tiger cat....
and more balloons.....



That night, Anneli had a chance to ride in a tethered Hot Air Balloon!


It was a super fun weekend! We can't wait to do it again next year!!! Thanks PFD!!!! :)
