The Great Reno Balloon Race

Hot Air Balloons are Awesome!

This year we woke up REALLY early to hit up the festivities.

We saw the Glow Show (balloons lighting up in the dark).

The Dawn Patrol (balloons taking off in the dark). These five were really cool and travel all around the country doing their early morning show!

The sun comes up and even more balloons take off.

There were some pretty cool balloons this year (my favorite being Darth Vader and Smokey the Bear).

The third day of the race was on September 11, so they did a good memorial throughout the show.

That day every balloon flew with an American Flag to remember.

I can't wait for next year's races!!
