Hot Air Balloons

We went to "Glendale Glitters" on the last day of their festival for the "Glendale Glows" part. They still had all the lights up, but they brought in a bunch of hot air balloons! It was SO cool. They were beautiful! There were a lot of bands there including Peppermint James, one of my favs and some fun activities for kids. Love it!

This guy asked if I wanted to get into his balloon. I did, but it was scarier than I thought it would be. Up until then I had always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, but now that I was in it, it freaked me out. :)
Notice the strong grip I have on the post. Then as I was posing for a picture, he lit it up! Yikes! I screamed with excitement and fear. :) The picture is dark, but you can sort of see the screaming face.

Then we watched them take down one of the balloons... As we were watching, Stacy noticed the sign on the side. :)
It says "experimental"... Hmmmm... That is an interesting title for a balloon, yeah? Anyway, I don't think I will be going up in this balloon anytime soon, but maybe a different one some day. :)

Why didn't I know that Glendale did things like that when I lived in Glendale? That sounds awesome.

Also, I was in your house today and I kept looking around for you and the boys. Good thing you are almost home.

word verification: suidoph - adj. - a term used to describe Rudolph before that foggy Christmas Eve. It was pretty bad. He was borderline.

I have always wanted to go in one too, but now I don't know!
