More Glow on the Rocks and Christmas Parade Pictures

We enjoyed the balloons at night so much and wanted to share as much as we could of the experience.

Balloons in the trees
   
3 - 2 - 1 - Fire up the balloons!






 

 










Balloon with a scoop - the fabric on the side that scoops the air into the balloon.

Balloonist - He's had three balloons during his career!


Walking the balloon so it can be brought down with the wind; it took a seven member crew, mostly holding the balloon down!

The dancers were dancing in a circle with a bonfire in the middle. They had about a 4 foot wide space between the fire and the spectators. The costumes were really colorful.

The Christmas Parade had lots of trucks pulling trailers with an assortment of people on them. There were several ballooning baskets on trucks and trailers. There were even a couple of floats and Indian Princesses.

Kids on a float!


Balloonists love to fire up the flames, even with no balloon attached. I thought the trees might get burned--or the traffic signal.
