Hot Air Balloon Festival

Colorado Springs does an awesome Hot Air Balloon Festival on Labor day weekend. My parents were here visiting for two weeks, and my sister came up for the weekend, so we all went to see the hot air balloons together.

What a gorgeous setting- right next to the lake, with the mountains in the background. Beautiful!

The crowd would cheer as each balloon would skim the water, and sometimes dunk the basket into the water!
