Each year they hold The Great Forest Park Balloon Race in St. Louis. The night before the race all the hot air balloons are grounded at the park and they light them up at dusk. You can walk right up to the balloons. I had never been up close to a hot air balloon. It was very neat. It was difficult to get pictures but here are a few.
Picture moment :-)
This is the giant Energizer Bunny Balloon. It is the largest one there and you can stand under it and touch the balloon. We kissed under the bunny :-)
This one was really cool also. The balloon was a huge bag of popcorn.
