This year it was pretty much the same except I left my husband home alone to gather up the kids & head into Montague & I was with my aunt and grandpa. My favorite part of the morning is when the sun starts breaking over the hills & casting it's beautiful orange-y glow on everything. The other thing special for this year was that we built a float for Amanda Pratt Photography & entered the parade. It was a super fun thing for the kids. Our float was a prize winner as well.
The ascension starts of with a single balloon, carrying the American flag as the national anthem is sung.
Then it's mass chaos of filling balloons, fans & people.
The kids graciously (errr, more like forced) posed for a quick photo together.
This year it seemed the wind was drifting a different direction & I could get Mt Shasta in the photos without doing too much traveling from the launch site.
Here is our float in all of it's before/after the parade, windy Montague afternoon glory.
Have a great day!
