Hot Air Balloon Festival

Last fall we took the kids to a hot air balloon festival in Scottsdale. It was the first time we had been to one and they had SO many balloons there, and bounce houses for the kids. It was really cool........there was a TON of people there. We had to drag the kids away (which isn't unusual for our kids........they never want the fun to end!)


It was around dusk when we arrived and for an additional fee you could get a tethered ride in one of the balloons. We see hot air balloons all the time in the winter here and Sidney wants to go on one SO bad. Maybe someday :-)

 I absolutely LOVED this one!

 At first I didn't even realize that there were all these other balloons on the other side of the park. We made our way over there and they were handing out Halloween candy. The kids were kind of hesitant though, it seemed each time we got right up next to one of the balloons they would pull the cord for the flame to help inflate the balloon and the it would really scare the kids.


They were really having a hard time with this neat clown balloon, but we were fascinated watching them try over and over to get it to completely inflate.
