On the Friday of the last weekend of August we headed to Lincoln for the Balloon Festival. This is an annual event for us and began as something we would do when we lived in Atlanta, which was a bit closer but we have continued to attend even as we have moved farther north. The kids are mesmerized by the sight of all of the balloons inflating, taking off, and then coming back at dusk for the glow. I have to admit that I love seeing them too! We usually take a blanket, lawn chairs, a small cooler, and make an evening of it. Derek's mom attended with us last year and loved it so much that she returned for a second visit this year. It was the perfect night for the balloons and it seemed as though there were more participants this year and they stayed out longer for the balloon glow because it was such a beautiful night. I wasn't as prepared in the camera department as I should have been. I forgot my memory card and had to swipe Addy's out of her camera and early in the glow my battery died because it hadn't been charged in quite sometime. I did manage to get a few pictures, but not as many as I would have liked. Oh well, there's always next year!
