One of the perks to living right next to "central park" is that we have a lot of cool things that happen practically in our front yard, like the city's firework display...and hot air balloon lifts (once we even got to ride in one that was taking off from the park!). We woke up Halloween morning to discover a small balloon festival taking place, so we bundled up in our blankets & pjs & took some coffee to the end of the street & watched over 25 balloons fill the sky with beautiful colors as the sun rose. It was so pretty (I can't imagine the BIG festival!) and so peaceful. The balloons would slowly fill with life and rise from the ground, the only sounds being the whoosh of the fires filling the bellies of the big balloons. Lily was pretty enthralled with it all, never taking her eyes off the action & pointing to them with wonder all over her face.
As for the name...it's the group that organizes this every year, with it growing each year. Apparently they started this tradition in the canyon but have since moved it to our park...and we thank them!
