Letchworth hot air balloon festival

In the spirit of truly experiencing western NY before we have to leave, we went touring again today, to Letchworth state park.  They have a hot air balloon festival this weekend so we took the kids to see it.  I really took a lot of pictures, like a LOT, so I will let them do the talking. 

The first balloon was a fish!

Eli was very tentative about the whole thing. 

Brian was not.  He loved it. 

He touched a balloon, he waved at the people taking off, he just had a blast. 

Eeee!  More balloons!

Eli was there too. 

But it was Brian who stole the show.

More balloons!

One guy went with no basket, just a chair!  The boys loved it. 

Oh, and I was there too!

It was a little crazy but we all had a great time.  The only downside was that there was no time to see the park itself, which is also really nice.  Maybe another day!
