Up, Up and Away…

Last month while the guys were busy with fall camp, one of the other coaches’ wives and I made a trip to Centralia, Illinois for their annual balloon fest.  This was my first trip to anything like this so I was excited to check things out and see the balloon glow.

Patty knows the ins and outs of Southern Illinois because she grew up not too far from here so she has been able to show me the ropes a little. 

We set up camp right in the middle of all the action…

Up, up and away!  There were all kinds of different balloons on display…

Such a fun and colorful balloon!

Unfortunately mother nature had other plans as light rain moved into the area before the balloon glow started.  However, it was fun seeing all of the different kinds of balloons and getting to see some of them take off.  Definitely something worth checking out again!
