Hot Air Balloon Festival Continued


We thought all the balloons launched at 6:00, but that is when they started setting up. Even though we could have had one more hour of sleep, it was really cool to watch them set it up and then launch. It is amazing how small the balloon is wrapped and then when it is full of air they are massive. One thing I learned was that they fill the balloon up with cold air, just using a fan and then when it is filled they use hot air to raise the balloon and launch it. It was great fun, worth the loss of sleep

Hey Megan, Jeff and I are now blogging...well mostly I am blogging. Jeff and I were just visiting the other day with Lisa about Jeff's internship in DC and the 'fun' times Kurt had with his roommates. Jeff and I are glad we don't have to be apart this summer and it looks like your family has been having some fun times as well:)
