A hot air balloon festival

Several weekends back we decided to go to a hot air balloon festival. It was out on an island in the lake. So it was a pretty setting and the advertisement photos showed 10 or more balloons in the air at once. We got up early on a Saturday morning and drove the hour to get there. Just to find out that this year for some unknown reason there where only four balloons!!! I was happy to have the fun family time but sad that the balloons where such a let down. We did how ever get some yummy doughnuts for breakfast and we got to walk out to the lake. The lake is very low right now so when I say walk out to the lake I mean walk on the beach towards the water for somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour!!! Ya it is that low but I guess it also has to do with the lake being very shallow...what we walked on was flat it did not appear to slope down at all. The sand was hard for the most part until we got right up to the water. Then Elsie started playing in it and Will tried to clean off her hands by hanging her upside down over the water. It got a little hot but we had a fun time!!!
