Hot Air Balloon Festival

July 24, 2015

I heard about this last year but I missed it. I was excited to be able to take Julie to Hudsonville this year to see the hot air balloons. Kara, Mike and I brought her after Mike and Kara got out of work. It was super hot, but thankfully was cooling down a bit by the evening. However, it was still pretty sweaty out when we go to the fairgrounds. We met the Moe's there, and though Ellie and Jules didn't play much, they got a little face time. Mike and Chris Cunningham were there too, so it was good to see them.

Around 7:30ish, they started blowing up the balloons. There were lots, and even though they took off at different times, it was pretty fun to watch. Poor Julie got a little too hot so she wasn't really interested, but it was something to see. We were going to stay for the pay where they balloons come back and light up, but the babies were too sleepy. Maybe next year!
