Super Saturday

Last week Saturday the Grand Rapids Hot Air Balloon Festival was in town and Dale & I along with my parents joined the hundreds of other people at the Hudsonville Fair Grounds to watch the balloons take off.  Re/Max is the realty company that put this Festival on and it was a RE/Max Hot Air Balloon that Dale and I rode in 8 years ago for our 30th wedding anniversary.  It brought back great memories.  When Julie was a little girl she would ride along with Grandma and Grandpa when a hot air balloon was spotted and they would chase it down to see where it was going.

 The balloons were beautiful

 I think everyones favorite was SUGAR BEAR

 So cool to see the sky peppered with these hot air balloons

 It was so interesting to watch them fill up and lift off

 My parents liked this one the best with the Lighthouse

What a fun and relaxing night.  The announcer was great, giving us an insight into what it was like to be a Hot Air Balloon Pilot and that this was actually a competition for the pilots with prize money involved.  All the proceeds from that night benefited the Childrens' Miracle Network.  A very worthy cause.
Thanks for stopping by!
