Aerostats among us . . .

I chose to make this post a picture story since the real story wasn't as pretty and pictures are SOOOooooooOOOOO much prettier.  Amirite?  Yep.

It was a gorgeous day in Vermont . . .
When we traveled to the Vermont Balloon & Craft Festival in Shelburne . . .
Initially the stink factor was a bit high . . .
But then we found marbles and all was right with the world.
Such happiness!
OH JOY!
Look!  Marbles!!
There were some (most) booths that we could only look with our eyes . . .
And so Ethan used his eyes in a very critical manner.
Toby was not impressed.
We sought out some shade, which was a hot commodity!  (ha ha, see what I did there?)  Peanut butter and apple sandwiches were consumed.
Toby joined in but continued to be skeptical.
Foodie area.
Outer edges of Craftie area.
Ice cream made with Vermont milk! 
He might be skeptical but he is still very cute.
Across the road was the "balloon walk."
Happy boy with marbles and the biggest balloon of his life.
Release the Ethan Wee!
It is possible this experience trumped the ice cream.
He found a band of kids and they joined forces and had tons o' fun.
Don't worry dude, you'll be free range soon enough.
Pretty neat set up.  Two wiry older dudes were pros at keeping the balloon inflated and created great "waves" inside for the kids to play around.
The best limeade of my life.
The end.
