Hudson Hot Air Balloon Festival

Well this afternoon we headed off to a nearby town where they were having their 4th annual hot air balloon festival. We probably should have went first thing this morning so we could watch them take off but that was happening at 6am and that just wasn't happening in our house. But family events were scheduled from 2pm on so we figured we'd take some naps then head over. We managed to see a few balloons but it just wasn't really what I expected. They were supposed to take off again at 6pm but by 10 after still only 1 balloon was filled with air. We were getting hungry and decided to leave and head out to dinner instead of waiting to see if it was going to happen or not. We did end up seeing 4 balloons in flight at the restaurant so I guess that was something. We still managed to have a nice time at the pavilion field where it was all happening. We went on a little train ride, had a clown make an Elmo balloon for Tyler and watched a couple of balloons get filled with that hot air. Mommy wanted to go on a test flight (meaning they just took you up a few feet and it was still tethered to the ground) but Tyler didn't want to go on it. He said "that fire is scary".
