Michigan Challenge Balloon Fest 2016
Hello, friends!
Hope you’re having a wonderful and relaxing day! This past weekend we went out to Howell for the annual Michigan Challenge Balloon Fest. We’ve been once before, but it was way back when Wyatt was just a little babe. My mom had arrived earlier in the afternoon to lay out a big quilt and claim a good spot. We sat in the sun and watched the balloons fill up with air and then float off the ground and into the sky. The boys got a little antsy during the set-up, but once the balloons were in the air they marveled at how pretty they were and how high they went up in the sky. It was completely magical, such an awesome experience. But, enough talk — here are some photos!
It’s pretty magical, huh? If you live in Michigan, definitely consider checking this out next year! It’s an amazing experience that can’t be missed!
I love hot air balloons. They are so big and colorful. I would love to go to this one of these years!
That’s so much fun! I love hot air balloons, and I would love to go to a balloon fest like that. What an experience.
I have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride. I hope that someday I’ll be able to. This is one of the things on my list of stuff I’d love to experience.
Sounds like a wonderful time. A balloon ride is on my bucket list. I hope i’d be able to do this one day.
I’ve never been in a hot air balloon but it definitely tops my bucket list!! Great post!!
I love hot air balloon festivals. They are so beautiful to look at once they are up in the sky. I have not yet mustered enough courage to ride one of those balloons though. I can imagine how nice it would be to look at the landscape from way up. Maybe someday, I will try a hot air balloon ride.
I have always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon. They are so beautiful to watch in the sky.
Hot air balloon festivals are so whimsical to me. As an adult I would love to attend one but not sure if I have the guts to do it! This looks like an amazing experience!
I haven’t attended a hot air balloon launch yet but would love to one day. I always enjoy watching them in the sky when I see one floating by.
Firstly your pictures are beautiful, I feel like I was there with you. What an amazing experience – I’ve never been on one before but I really want to go on one. Just been very nervous.
I love going to the balloon fest and seeing different shapes and sizes of hot air balloons. I wish I could ride though.
Your pictures are gorgeous. I too was at this event and can say it was a fabulous event! Michigan is such a cool place to live.
