25th Anniversary of the Howell, MI Balloon Festival

Gary and I and the friends we camp with attended the 25 Anniversary of the Howell Balloon Festival this weekend. Last year we were here but because of the weather the balloons did not Launch. If you ever get to attend, it is quite a site to see 51 balloons launch one right after the other. We had a great weekend and Cristan and the kids came over for the day on Saturday. Enjoy the pictures. Maybe it will inspire you to attend next year.
Here comes the Balloons!

Their unpacking them from their trailers.


Laying them out

One by one they left








Up, Up and away!
