Big Balloon Fest

Friday, my family and I went to the Texas Hot Air Balloon Festival. Which is a festival for when they launch hot air balloons. We drove there to play and see them launch the balloons with our friends, little did we know that right around the corner was.................   Disaster!!!!!!!!!

There we were driving in to the parking lot of the festival. No harm being done by that, or is there?!!! DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!! But we walked into the seemingly safe grounds of the festival anyway. Our friends had not arrived (Lucky for them) due to their dad forgetting his wallet, so we were left to either play with our siblings or a bunch of strangers. First, we went to the Kid's Castle (Of Doom!!!!) where it was all made out of wood, talk about killing trees! We played around there with no place to exactly go to. While we were there a little kid about 4 years old decided to stalk me! Everywhere I went he was sure to be right behind me. (He would not stop following me!) It would be, "Hey girl look at what I can do!" or "Hey girl, wait up!", but this was just the first of my trials.

 I finally escaped him (I hear the bells ringing, HALLELUJAH!!!!) when we saw the hot air balloons starting to fill up, and decided to go watch them take off. Passing all these fun things that I wanted to do (mainly the rock climbing) I asked mom when we would be able to play them, but she replied saying that everything cost $20 per child. This was my 2nd trial being bored out of my mind, and having nothing to do but watch some big balloons fly away. While watching the first balloons take off I started to feel hot. This was the 3rd trial becoming hot and sweaty. Our friends were right around the corner, and my mom spotted them first. They had arrived after the first 5 balloons, so our friends had not missed much. As they were arriving, I started to feel the worst problems of them all..... HUNGER! and, DEHYDRATION! This was the 4th of my problems, which lasted for 2 miserable days!!!!!! (actually it was roughly about 20 minutes) The last problem had been there all along and it had just gotten worse. I had to use the bathroom, luckily there was a bathroom just nearby.

Had it not been for the wonderful glowing hot air balloon show I would've gone mad. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Although there were lots of problems it was fun to see hot air balloons with my family and friends, and I'm glad I was able to see it in person.
