The Great Texas Balloon Race

Longview, TX, our home now for almost a year, is the Hot Air Balloon capital of Texas (just in case you all were wondering where the Hot Air Balloon capital of Texas was!!) Every year in July there is a hot air balloon race and then a big festival and a balloon glow. The balloon race starts early in the morning, and then the balloon glow happens at night. Here are a few pictures of what we saw yesterday!




Here is the view from our front porch of the balloon race. I don't quite understand how you race a hot air balloon, but it looks pretty cool!

Zack slept almost the whole time at the balloon glow!
When it got dark, thet lit all the hot air balloons at the same time.
Watch the video as well!This was my personal favorite! Here is the RE/MAX balloon that we saw last weekend. It was one of the prettiest ones when lit up.
