The first "burn" as they call it. They released these balloons at dawn, and called them, appropriately, the Dawn Patrol.
The kids were pretty amazed because we could be so close to these huge balloons.
The event was sponsored by the Energizer Bunny and...
Target! We scored $15 in Target gift cards! A man was walking through the crowds, and he handed three $5 gift cards to the kids. Hey kids, let mommy hold those...

Boredom struck at about 6:15 am. No balloons were launched, we were cold, and I wanted to go home and curl up in bed. It didn't get exciting again until about 7am. That is when they launched all the balloons and the kids attention was totally focused on all the activity around us.
The Sushi Balloon.
The Energizer Bunny. Supposedly it was as tall as the Statue of Liberty. I don't know...
We packed up and left after all the balloons had been launched. This was the last pic that I took as we were heading back to our car. Pretty neat huh!
