We made it to Brabant's Balloon Festival last weekend. So cool but nothing comapred to what we have seen in the USA. (Check out Kelly's blog for great Photos!) This was different for many reasons. It is done in the evening. The event started at 4 each day and the balloons take off at 6:30-7pm. There are only about 20-25 balloons and there was only one real character balloon, the car below. It was held on the grounds of a beautiful Monastery/Convent only about a 5 minute drive from our house. If our shipment had arrived we would have rode our bikes. But I won't get started on that since it has only been 3 months since I shipped the container and it has been in this country for 1 month! Oops, tangent. And finally, there were all kinds of fun things for Kaelan to do before the balloons took off. A carousel, bouncy houses, a crane ride (yes, a real construction crane. They have this at all the events we have been too!), a huge mound of sand ( 20-30 feet high) with 2 slides and a tunnel through the middle. He was a mess but we all had a great time!

Best part was watching the Nuns peek their heads over the hedge to see the festivities! Only in Europe and I love it!
