Here are a few of my favorite pictures of the regular balloons from our trip.

Elvis, I don't think we saw this one go up in the air so this was about the best picture of it I could get. 

Star Wars balloon

One of Kyle's favorite balloons was of course the Darth Vader balloon. They even had some storm troopers and other characters out by it.

Fireworks and Balloon glow

On Saturday night of the balloon festival they had a balloon glow and fireworks. The balloon glow is basically where the balloons just inflate and glow all at the same time. We were in the Diamond club for this night so we were on the opposite end of the field from the fireworks and where the balloons inflate. I had plans of taking my tripod and forgot it (then afterward realized I had my mini table top tripod in the bottom of my bag, but oh well). I found this cement wall to set my camera on but that meant I couldn't tilt it up like I wanted, so these firework pictures took some editing (mostly cropping) but I like how they turned out. Most of these used a 10 second shutter speed.
