Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival






Early this morning (but apparently not early enough) we went to Chatfield State Park for the hot air balloon festival. We should have gotten there earlier than 6:45 as the line to get in was very long, but we did get to take a lot of pictures while we waited. By the time we parked and walked over to where all the balloons had been, they had all taken off except for one. We got to see that once inflated and also got to see it rise after the fire was turned on. It was so cool! Right after that the motorized hang-gliders took off. One was worn as a backpack type thing and the other was like a go-cart. Check out the video of the backpack one. Very cool!
