Here I was at my first hot air balloon event. Everyone was eager to show off their flying contraptions (note to self: pat self on back for buying a 20x zoom lens):
The crowd gathered around the field as nearly 30 balloons were set up & inflated. There were so many balloons participating in the 7 pm mass ascension that it was impossible to catch all the action. Quite a spectacle, and well-worth the 40 minute drive to Gardner!
"I can blow a balloon too, Mom!"
Most of the balloons were set up behind their owners' pickup trucks, with the baskets just behind the truck bed:
Rather than taking off, these balloons were being set up for "night glow." I had no idea how cool THAT was going to be... we were in for a treat!
