the glow

Last night we met up with friends at the annual Forest Park Balloon Race. Friday night is the "Glow"- the hot air balloons are all places in Central Field and when it starts to get dark they randomly glow. At the end of the evening there are fireworks. It is a lot of fun but very crowded. Saturday is the actual race. The balloons are sent up in the air (the Energizer Bunny is first) then the goal is to catch up to the bunny. The race is not as exciting. We have started to solely attend the Glow. It is fun to hang out with friends, eat and play....

There was MUCH traffic. We ended up parking outside of the park and walking...
We had a delicious picnic dinner...

The balloons are starting to rise...
Reagan is enjoying the sun...

We had lots of play time...
There's the bunny!

A good glow shot...





The Maynors and Woods joined us after dark. It was a fun time!
