Media night - Balloons

June 18th was Media night. Howell every year has a Balloon festival. It is really cool to see. But I think I almost like media night better. It is the night about 2 weeks before the festival that some of the balloons lauch from the local park. They have a big party for the pilots and crew, sponsers and such. They do not advertise it but since I know one of the pilots I find out when it is. You get to get really close to the balloons as they are being inflated. Not as many go up that night but you are really close. Alex has a blast.

This is Alex and August waiting for the fun to begin.
The boys are playing in the sand waiting for the balloons to inflate. Yes we are that close to one.

This is my friends balloon.

This one went up over the trees and then down and floated over the lake.
