Two weekends ago we drove out to Ditmars Orchard in Council Bluffs for a hot air balloon festival.
This is our second year going and it was even better this time because...
Isaak was there, always better with the hubs
Friends were there, always better with fun company
and during the 'glow' we got to go right up to the balloons!
You can't go wrong with this kind of rock star seating....
or deep fried apple pie with homemade ice cream (there was also a behemoth size bag of kettle corn that was too big too finish)
or a live band
or being just steps away from an orchard that just begs to be ran through
apple anyone? (what can I say, I couldn't resist!)
I am like, right.there. They took the rope down this year and let everyone come up to the balloons and get an up close and personal viewing of it all. So cool. And warm. We just love this festival at the end of a dirt road in the middle of no where. Looks like fall is officially rollin' into the midwest.
