While we were at Ashley’s house, they told us there would be a balloon festival the next morning.  Well, about one block away, they filled and sent up dozens of balloons, and I grabbed my kids to see it all.

We couldn’t believe that from Ashley’s front lawn, we could have thrown a rock and hit about six of them.  It was awesome!

I grabbed the kids and we went driving around to follow them.  And about four blocks from Ashley’s house, one landed.

As others flew over us, we got to watch the whole landing and clean up of this massive balloon.

And amazingly enough…after about ten minutes, the entire balloon was deflated, folded and packed away.
Talk about professionals.
Talk about a cool alarm clock — the sound of gas being blown into these huge balloons.
My kids loved it.
I loved it.
