The Balloon Glow at Forrest Park

We went to the Annual Balloon Glow in Forrest Park. It was Andrew, Julie, Carissa and her family and about a thousands other spectators... Here are a series of photos I took to show the set up process.

Setting up the balloons before the balloon glow. Starting on its side with the basket tipped over and fans blasting air into the balloon part.
The balloon is starting to take shape, this is all the same balloon to show a sequence of photos I took while the inflation happened.
looking into the balloon and its massive space inside.
close up of the fire starters. I don't know the proper term for these giant metal coils, which fill the Hot-air balloons with flames.
All finished, and looking handsome, George! Balloon glow, where there are balloons displayed on the ground at night to show a beautiful glow when the fire lights them up. Tonight was so fun. I am definately going agian next year!
