Forest Park Balloon Glow





Friday night, Matt and I headed out to Forest Park in St. Louis for the annual Balloon Glow! It is always the night before the Great Forest Park Balloon Race (involving over 70 hot air balloons). The Balloon Glow offers spectators a breathtaking view of inflated balloons lighted by their burners. We got to get up close and walk around the balloons! It was a stunning sight! There were about 40 balloons that participated in the glow. Matt's favorite was the Post cereal balloon - Sugar Bear and Kelly's favorite was the Budweiser balloon. We also got to see the energizer bunny balloon - it was HUGE! Although we left about 15 minutes before the fireworks - wanted to beat traffic out - it was crowded - it was a fun evening!

Oh my gosh...I had no idea it was quite this large! You can probably count on us next year!
