Everyone has been telling us, "You picked the BEST week to come to Longview! The Balloon Glow is on Friday night!" I'm just gonna be honest... I was not too sure about a "balloon glow." Was it glow-sticks hanging from balloons released into the sky? I had no clue.
It has to do with HOT AIR BALLOONS!
As we pulled up, the special shape balloons were beginning to ... well ... take shape. They. Were. MASSIVE.
I couldn't help but be amused - there wasn't a single person there who wasn't taking pictures. They were using SLRs, point-and-shoots, iPads, cell phones... anything with a camera in it.
Living in Texas again looks good on Mom and Dad! :)
One of my favorite parts of festivals and large gatherings is watching the people. I can't help but catch a few expressions in the crowd here and there.
Look! Noah's Ark!
"In the same way, let your light shine
before others, that they may see
your good deeds and glorify
your Father in heaven."

Great pictures! Do they go up in the air or stay on the ground? It looks like a really neat event!
