Hot Air Balloon Festival 2012

While Chris spent the weekend in Auburn to see the LSU game for a guy's weekend,  my boys and I stumbled on an awesome time! They moved the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival to the parish facilities one exit down from our house.  So Adam and Caleb and I headed out to see what the balloon glow was all about. Blew Our Minds!!  There were so many of them, so close to each other, all aglow at one time!!  It really was beautiful.

We started off at the face painting tent and received the worst paint jobs ever!  This is supposed to be Batman and Hulk.

 

Then we explored some awesome blow-up obstacle courses, bounce houses, and games.  This is Adam going for 3 points.

 

This is my favorite shot.  Caleb was not quite ready for the loud burst the flame made behind him. 

 

This was our favorite

 

 

 

 I think we counted over 35 balloons that night and they would light them up in a twinkle fashion or all at once.  The great part was that you could walk as close as you wanted within the  balloon field.  We will be doing this again next year.
