Ballunar Festival


We were up and out of the house early this morning in order to see the hot air balloons lift off. It was all part of the annual Ballunar Festival that was taking place at NASA this year. We hadn't been on the road long when we started to see them in the sky....


We noticed one on the ground and thought that it might have crashed......


Then we realized that was the spot they had chosen to lift off. On the other side of the field were even more balloons in open fields getting ready to launch into the sky! They were all taking off from different points and then landing at NASA...


It really was a sight to behold!


This pic was taken while waiting in the drive thru at McDonald's!


At times, the balloons were flying pretty low and Matthew was concerned they may crash on us....


Meghan was her usually smiley self kicking her legs with glee at the sight of the balloons...


We decided to watch the balloons float by while sitting in the NASA parking lot...


We couldn't have asked for a better view!


I liked this one!


The weather was perfect!


I really thought this guy was going to hit the tree.....


Yikes!



Matthew wouldn't let go of his hash brown for the picture....


Flying very low....


A freaked out Matthew seeking shelter in the Traverse!


The last balloon of the day!





There it goes!



We will definitely be making this a yearly thing!
