Balloon and Wine Festival 2011

 I just happened to notice some signs on my way home from a shopping trip about this festival and thought it would be really fun to attend.  So, we quickly ate supper and headed over.
 We got to watch 3 balloons take off..very interesting process and someday I will ride in one!  They also had little vendors set up that were selling stuff, food and wine/drinks. 
 We were late getting to the Macy's stand.  They were having a contest and whoever's drawing was picked was going to be the Macy's day parade balloon and you got a trip to see the parade! Darn it!
 We had fun, though, watching the balloons take off and strolling through the crowds; looking at all the neat stuff!
 Gracie and Evie showed their true selves at the festival....wild indians! Hehe!
Gracie even got her arm painted with a pretty sparkly unicorn. We didn't stay long enough to see the balloons return and glow in the darkness, but maybe that can be a sight for next year :)
