Routine and exciting stuff at the Balloon Fiesta

Walking the dogs

Frank drove john and I and all the dogs over to the baseball field to let them run.  Usually Chica loves to run on the grass, but the larger dogs overwhelmed her today.  Instead she decided to wait in the dugout on the bench.

You could walk among all the balloons.  It is amazing how huge they are close up.

Then they started the glow.  The balloons are tethered. This was a member of the crew that helps to keep the balloon in place.

The do a blast that lights up the balloon and lasts between 5 and 10 seconds.  It is really a site to see.
