Hamilton has a Balloon Festival every year, which is pretty frickin' sweet if you ask me (or anyone else in my immediate family).
Here are some photos (remember to click for big):
It seems that Ella is dressed in her Brethren outfit more often than not these days:
No, wait - sometimes she wears a "normal" hat:
There were at least 16 balloons on the Saturday morning, undeniably spectacular:
We all become experts on balloons at this time of year. This one can fit 22 dudes in the basket. That's a lot of dudes:
See, look, it's like a minibus hanging there under the envelope (sorry, another bit of balloonist jargon there):
Say hello to Jack In The Box - Ella's not scared of him, but I am. That's why I'm standing further away, taking the photo:
I'm never too sure about panoramas, but this new camera sure makes them easier to line up:
Mushroom!
I could totally sell this if people wanted iconic Hamilton photos:

That thing was stalking us, I swear:
It tried to go for a swim:
Ella got to go in a balloon (that one behind her):
That's her on the right:
Here's another panorama of the early part of the Nightglow:
This is what Ella looks like, all lit up:
. . . aaaaand this is what a whole lot of balloons look like, all lit up:
The girls all went to see a few balloons land in the poncy high school near us on the Sunday morning:

Looks like fun! :)
Great snaps of everyone having a lot of fun.
Shroom balloon is awesome - enough to make me reconsider my whole outlook on Hamilton.
(Sadly reconsideration didn't not achieve a different result)
These are great pictures, the balloons were awesome this time.
I know what you mean about the panorama photos, I can't seem to master them.
