We haven't been to the balloon festival since I was pregnant with Cordy, even though we love it. I decided this year we were going to make it happen. Even though it goes for almost two week straight, we still managed to wait until the very last night to head out. This year we left with plenty of time to get there and pick out a spot for ourselves. We bought a few "fair food" treats and settled in.
A good 20 to 30 minutes after the balloons were supposed to be lifting off they still weren't ready to go. We were pulling out all the stops to keep our kids entertained.
Then the festival officials decided that wind was just a little bit too hard to let the balloons lift off this evening. Bummer! A few balloon teams blew up their balloons but kept them on the ground so we could at least see a few. The kids enjoyed that, but there was no way we were going to wait around for another 2 hours for the big fireworks show so we called it a night and headed home.
Next year we will try to go earlier in the festival and watch the weather closely.
