Snowmass Balloon Festival

Finley and I tried to watch the balloon races on Friday morning, but they were rained out.  We settled for cinnamon rolls in Basalt instead.  On Saturday morning the balloons were once again rained out, so we headed out to Maroon Bells to see a moose!  Saturday night we went up to Snowmass to see the Balloon Glow and it was quite a disappointment, so none of us were super excited for this morning's balloon event.  It turned out to be an amazing event and the weather was perfect for the few hours the balloons were up in the air.  It began to rain again after the balloons had all touched down.  It was amazing to see all the balloons taking off and floating around in the sky.
