I’m in Ottumwa, Iowa teaching my brayer techniques this weekend and I could not have timed my trip better. After teaching yesterday I was treated to the awesome sights and sounds of the Ottumwa Hot Air Balloon Races and Festival.
When we arrived at the festival things were just starting to heat up. They were inflating the hot air balloons. These balloons are really something to see floating across the sky, but it was unreal to see them up close and personal at the festival and to get to walk amoung them.
As the sun went down the balloons were kept inflated and they would do short periods of time in which the balloons were lite up all at once. So much color, it was fantastic!
I’m deathly afraid of heights, so seeing this from the ground was the best way to see it for me. 🙂
May your weekend be full of fun surprises.
Until my next post. . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
