Thanks for letting me share

ETA: This event happens every year and gets bigger and bigger. It is so cool to have people from all over the world come out for this week long festival. Hotels book up way in advance and there is also an evening balloon glow with hundreds of balloons! I enjoyed sharing this w/you, thanks. The turtle below is my favorite; his shoes untied is toooo cute!

Very cool!! Thanks for posting!! Looks like loads of fun.

I''ve been to much smaller balloon launches, but I think yours is one of the biggest (if not the biggest).

The turtle is my favorite too!!! Noah''s Ark and all the other special shapes are super cool and fun to look at; the more parts to the balloon the more expensive. It is so much fun; I am glad you liked the pics!!!
