Colorado Springs Balloon Glow

The Staffords, friends in the Pine Creek Ward, invited us to head to the Annual Labor Day Balloon Glow with them on Saturday night.  We parked and walked into the Centennial Park, set out our blankets and talked until it got dark.  It was fun that you could get up close to the balloons as they filled up.  As a big crowd, we counted down from five and then all of the balloons lit up at once – over and over again.  The boys thought it was pretty great.  Reminded me of the Balloon Glow that happened each year at Callaway Gardens in Columbus, Georgia.
