Plano Balloon Festival 2012

The past few years, there always seems to be a wrestle between weather and launch times at the Hot Air Balloon Festival but it hasn't ended our efforts to get out and enjoy some family time.  Today, however, the gods were smiling upon us as we had perfect weather conditions despite the air quality alerts. 

We enjoyed the usual routine: picnic dinner atop a hill as we watch the skydivers descend and the balloons eventually launch, walk around the vendors and booths, settle down to watch the balloons set up again, and as darkness falls, take to the launching field and watch the "balloon glow" up close and personal.  Our family loves this event!



Lest we forget where we live.
