Saturday 31st August

Today was the second day of the Gatineau hot

air ballon festival, so we decided to spend the afternoon wondering and looking at the festival.

We arrived at about 2pm the hotest time of the day and was it hot. We had timed it so we could watch the air force sky divers and then watch all the hot air balloons take off.

There was so many people, we walked around and looked at the carival games, just like the summer show at home but more of them.

We then went and found a good spot in the

shade, not that there was much, and watched

all the balloons inflate and take off, there was

heapes of them. Most balloon i have ever

seen in one place.
We then went and found some good healthy

food to eat for dinner before talking to the

firefighters from the Gatineau city dept.

By this time even more people had turned up

so we found a sit and watched the interesting

shaped ballons fill up thinking they were going

to flight somewhere. But no they stay there

until it got dark and some of the other balloons

returned ands set up as well and then they all

did a light show to music.

As the music played different ballons would

light the flames, very spectauar at night that's

for sure.
