 Nicole, Jordan, and I went to the 21st Annual Quechee Balloon Festival in Quechee, Vermont on June 16th.  We have been going for several years now. The balloons typically make their ascentions on Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday night...weather providing. It was a little warm and humid but the festival is always worth it. Along with the balloons, the festival also has many craft vendors, live bands, and plenty of good food. The highlight of the festival is always the blowing up and the lifting off of the balloons. This year there were approximately 20 balloons that participated. Nicole and I always enjoy going to the festival. There are always some balloons which we have never seen before. Sometimes the balloons, after lifting off, will drift down and touch the nearby river. Jordan loved all the big balloons and people. He even got out and danced a little jig in front of the band. He was a hit with the crowd. |
