Colorado Springs Hot Air Balloon Classic









Well this weekend was the Colorado Springs Hor Air Balloon Classic. It was my first time to a Hot Air Balloon festival and it was really cool!! We went Saturday night to the Balloon Glo where they inflated all the balloons and then lit them up. Way cool.....remembered my camera.....but forgot the picture card!! DUH!! I did remember it today though!! Kenna and I woke up at 5:15am to head out at 5:30am so we could be there to the launch field to watch all the balloons launch at 7am. It was really neat but I am tired now!! As you can in some of the pictures....the balloon pilots would lift off the group....fly pretty low to the ground and then aim for the middle of the lake and dip the baskets down in the water....and then take off again! Crazy people! But it was fun to watch!!
